Influenza vaccines will be available in Alberta pharmacies on Oct. 16, with the new Moderna XBB vaccine likely to be accessible around the same time.

Health Canada approved the highly anticipated booster shot on Tuesday for all Canadians six months and older. It targets the latest COVID-19 variants to provide optimal immunity.

While pharmacies haven’t received a confirmed distribution plan, it appears availability may line up with the flu shot.
