EDMONTON – It’s only one letter difference, but the messaging is quite different.
It appears someone bought the web domain for AlbertaVaccineRecords.ca, which is not the Alberta website to actually get your vaccine record.
Looks like someone bought up the domain https://t.co/qrwn5djOf0 and is taking advantage of it….
After a few seconds it forwards you to the correct site which is https://t.co/js5mi16bQL (not pluralized)#AbLeg #COVIDAB pic.twitter.com/3atRthluZO

The correct website for those looking to access COVID-19 vaccine records is AlbertaVaccineRecord.ca.
Instead, the alternate site says “Fire the UCP”.
It eventually redirects you to the site where you can get your vaccination information.
