Satellite vaccine clinics have opened in emergency departments in hospitals around the province. 

Nine satellite clinics have already taken place, with more than 425 emergency department staff vaccinated. As more vaccine becomes available, additional clinics will be opened for eligible staff. 

Alberta Health Services and Covenant Health are piloting the use of temporary clinics to increase opportunities for eligible emergency department staff and physicians to get vaccinated. 

Dr. Verna Yiu, president and CEO of Alberta Health Services, says, "These satellite clinics are increasing opportunities for eligible emergency department staff and physicians to get vaccinated and are another way Alberta Health Services and Covenant Health are working to provide COVID-19 vaccine to as many health-care workers as possible during this first phase of the vaccine rollout.” 

This is another tool to increase COVID-19 vaccinations across Alberta.
