Alberta parents can book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment for their children starting Wednesday morning, Premier Jason Kenney announced.
First-dose appointments will go live online at 8 a.m. after Pfizer's shipment of more than 394,000 doses arrived in Alberta on Tuesday.
Parents and guardians can book the appointments here.
The doses will be administered at more than 120 Alberta Health Services vaccination clinics and four pharmacies across the province.
More than 390,000 Albertans aged five to 11 can get vaccinated as early as Friday.
"With each dose administered, we get one step closer to minimizing the threat of this virus and forging our path out of the pandemic," Kenney said.
"Immunization will help these youngsters back to being kids and spend time around others with reduced risk of catching or spreading COVID-19 to someone that they love," Health Minister Jason Copping said.
