Jason Kenney said Tuesday that Alberta Health Services had been holding back some vaccines for a second dose but will now move forward to vaccinate as many people as possible to catch up. However, in mid-December, Health Minister Tyler Shandro had said no doses would be withheld. Retired nurses and students will also be brought in to help speed up the rate of vaccinations. 16,900 doses of the Moderna vaccine have now arrived in Alberta and the first dose was given to a resident of the Riverview Care Centre in Medicine Hat on Wednesday.

Stats reported yesterday from the video update/globalnews.ca website: Dr.Hinshaw pointed out the death rate in Quebec is 95 per 100,000 population. In B.C., it’s 16 per 100,000 population, while in Alberta, it’s 20 per 100,000. U.K. coronavirus variant B.C. and Ontario ...were the first to report cases caused by the COVID-19 variant linked to recent travel to the U.K. Hinshaw confirmed Monday that Alberta has also identified one COVID-19 case caused by this variant in someone who recently arrived from the U.K. This individual did everything they were supposed to do, Alberta’s top doctor said, adding there’s no evidence that there has been any further spread. We are working with the Public Health Agency of Canada to be able to get the flight details and a list of individuals who were on the same plane, she said, specifically those seated in nearby rows. There was a time delay between when the person arrived in Alberta and when symptoms started, Hinshaw explained.
