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.

Recipients are asked to bring their Alberta Health Care card and government-issued identifications. Face masks and use of hand sanitizer will be required.
