Flu clinics are set to re-open today in Alberta and the province’s deputy medical officer of health says there’s still demand for swine flu vaccinations.
Provincial officials say about one million people in Alberta have been vaccinated so far.
Dr. Judy MacDonald says though health officials haven’t seen a lot of the virus showing up recently, she adds they still expect to see more of it.
She says if there is a third wave of the illness, it won’t be as widespread because so many people have received the shot.
Alberta Health Services will offer the shot in Calgary at the Avenida, Whitehorn and Brentwood clinics. Doors open at noon and close at 7PM.
They’ll also be available in doctors’ offices in the coming days.
Provincial officials say 69 people have died in Alberta after contracting H1N1.
