Albertans aged 12 or older in need of their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will have an opportunity without an appointment at two locations in the coming days.
A total of 600 mRNA doses will be available on Saturday, June 26 at the Airdrie Town and Country clinic at 275 Jensen Drive N.E. from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Alberta Health Services will also offer 300 doses of mRNA vaccine at a temporary clinic on Tuesday, June 29 at the Crossroads Community Association hall (1803 14 Ave. N.E.) in northeast Calgary.
The Crossroads clinic will be available for walk-in vaccines for eligible Albertans from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Recipients are asked to bring their Alberta Health Care card and government-issued identifications. Face masks and use of hand sanitizer will be required.
