Alberta’s government says it will provide free COVID-19 immunizations for health care workers this fall, after it said most Albertans, including health care workers, would have to pay for it.

The province said health care workers would now be eligible for a free COVID-19 immunization in phase 1 of its two-phase rollout of the program.
