This year, more than ever, Albertans should get immunized against influenza to protect their health and support the province’s fight against COVID-19.
Flu shots are now available free of charge at pharmacies and doctors’ offices across the province. Alberta Health Services (AHS) is also offering immunizations by appointment for those under five years old and those in their household.
This year’s flu season presents an additional challenge as Alberta responds to COVID-19. Immunization will help protect vulnerable Albertans, as well as decrease influenza-related tests, emergency room visits and hospitalizations during the pandemic.
The government has ordered a record 1.96 million doses of vaccine to help protect the health of Albertans.
“Getting immunized is more important now than ever before. It’s the best way to protect your health and the health of your friends and neighbours. It will also allow our health system to keep focusing on the fight against COVID-19 while we continue safely opening Alberta’s economy.”
Jason Kenney, Premier
“We’ve purchased a record amount of vaccine and made changes to ensure that getting your flu shot is as safe and easy as possible. By keeping cases of influenza low, we can make sure our health-care system can keep responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and all the other health-care needs that Albertans face every day.” said Tyler Shandro, Minister of Health.
“The flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19, but it will reduce your chances of getting sick with influenza and spreading it to others. While getting immunized helps, it’s also crucial to wash your hands often, cover coughs and sneezes and stay home when sick. If you have flu symptoms, book a test for COVID-19 as symptoms are similar. Let’s all do our part to keep one another safe.” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, chief medical officer of health.

Since 1987, the Extended Program on Immunization in Bangladesh has saved the lives of more than 3.5 million children . It has led to the eradication of poliomyelitis and the elimination of neonatal tetanus, and has possibly made the biggest contribution towards Bangladesh's achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4 well ahead of schedule. At least 95% of the 157 million people living in this country have access to vaccines - this in a country where only around 60% of the population has access to the power grid, that sees annual floods, and that has a challenging road transport system and high levels of corruption. This has made Bangladesh's vaccine delivery system a role model for delivering effective interventions in resource-poor settings. This successful story cannot be pinned down on any one crucial factor, but it is rather a result of the development of an effective system involving collaboration between multiple dedicated blocks of society – from front line workers to politicians to journalists.

Block-Chandanpur, Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) Vaccine bottels arranged for a photograph at district Programme Management Unit, NRHM in Puri. Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 2 million child deaths each year worldwide, and IndiaÕs Immunization Program is the largest in world with respect to the quantity of vaccines used and the number of beneficiaries. Here, Routine Immunization (RI) saves the lives of 400,000 children annually. In OdishaÕs 30 districts and 314 blocks, it is not easy for health workers to reach a population of 4.1 crore. With 30% of the areas difficult to reach, 22% tribal population, 48% people in the BPL category and 17% schedule cast population, Odisha has been one of the most challenges states for them in terms of geography and demography. Despite these odds, during 2013-14, the state provided immunization services at a cost of Rs 30 crore to 8,54,619 children between 0-1 years and 9,40,081 pregnant women to prevent seven diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles and Hepatitis B. In addition, vitamin A is also administered to children. The current level of full immunization coverage is 62.3% for children (AHS 2011-12), officials say. Since 2009, the program has manifested itself in the Teeka Express, where participation of civil society, NGOs, porters, rickshaw drivers and volunteers strengthen the vaccine delivery logistics. This system has been implemented in 280 out of the 314 blocks of the state, and has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality, improved timeliness of reporting, ensured regularization of immunization in hard to reach areas and improved immunization waste management. Odisha governmentÕs RI program has been supported by UNICEF and has positively impacted vaccine logistics management. .

HERAT, 6 October 2015 – Some 300,000 children are being immunized against polio in two of Afghanistan’s western provinces as part of a UN-supported campaign to combat the crippling disease.
Following concerns about an outbreak from a new polio case in Herat, the Ministry of Public Health, together with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO), commenced an immunization campaign throughout Farah and Herat.
“The emergence of a polio case in the Shindand district of Herat can be a threat, and if we don’t act on an emergency basis, children in some vulnerable areas could be affected by the virus,” said Ahmed Shah Ahmedi, a UNICEF official.
Mr. Ahmedi explained that the three-day vaccination campaign follows on the heels of a nationwide programme, launched earlier this year, that vaccinated children in all districts across the western regions.
Wahid Rahmani, the coordinator of the anti-polio programme at Herat’s Directorate of Health, said insecurity in different areas of the country and movement of individuals and families from the south to the western provinces have contributed to the spread of the virus.
This year, health officials have identified 12 new cases of polio throughout the country. Of these, five were in the western region: four in Farah and one in Herat.
According to WHO, polio remains endemic in only two countries – Afghanistan and Pakistan – with the eradication of polio globally depending primarily on stopping the disease in these countries.
