🤩 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a contagious respiratory virus. It is most active in Canada during the fall and winter months. Infants younger than six months of age are one of the
groups most likely to experience severe RSV infection, and severe RSV infection in infants can result in hospitalization or intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Pregnant people can get the RSV vaccine between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. This vaccine helps your body create protective antibodies that are passed to your baby before birth. These antibodies help protect your baby during the first months of life, when the risk from RSV is highest. For more info, see the link below or talk to you doctor 🤩.

🤩Don't forget to PRE-ORDER your COVID VACCINES 🤩

Info from the Alberta.ca website re: Covid Vaccines:
As of August 11, 2025, Albertans can signal their intent to receive vaccines and pre-order their COVID-19 and influenza vaccines using the Alberta Vaccine Booking System (AVBS).
Pre-ordering does not confirm eligibility nor appointment time.
Albertans will receive a reminder notification via SMS or email prompting them to book their immunization appointment when booking opens.
When the Albertan books their immunization appointment for fall/winter 2025-2026, they can also pre-order their vaccine for 2026-2027.
The pre-order function is intended help reduce waste while providing better data and information to better prepare vaccine supply needs for each season.
Albertans are not required to use the pre-order system to receive a vaccine. The pre-order tool is intended to support vaccine planning and procurement.

Learn about COVID-19 and how to protect yourself and your family.
