Pharmasave pharmacies are providing COVID-19 vaccines to eligible Albertans. Alberta Health has created a central appointment system to manage COVID-19 vaccination appointments. Please access the Alberta Vaccine Booking System (AVBS) to view appointment availability at your local Pharmasave.

All residents 6 months and older are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in Alberta. Note that children ages 6 months to 4 years old must be immunized at an Alberta Health Services clinic and only select pharmacies in Alberta provide vaccines to children ages 5-11.
