Kari Bergstrom, Manager, Immunization, Business with Alberta Health provides logistical highlights of the Provincial Vaccine Depot to Minister of Health Tyler Shandro, Deputy Minister of Health Paul Wynnyk, and Dr. Deena Hinshaw on Monday, December 14, 2020.
Alberta will soon receive 25,350 doses of Pfizer vaccine and will start immunizing priority health-care workers provincewide.
During the week of Dec. 21, Alberta will receive shipments of vaccines from Pfizer at dedicated vaccine sites across the province.
Right now, the Pfizer vaccine must be administered at its delivery site, so these doses will be provided to respiratory therapists, intensive care unit physicians and staff, and eligible long-term care and designated supportive living workers across the province.
These are in addition to the 3,900 doses that are expected to arrive this week and will begin to be administered in Calgary and Edmonton within days of delivery. The ultra-cold freezers needed for the Pfizer vaccines are now installed at eight locations across Alberta and AHS staff are being trained to ensure quality and safety are maintained.
“This welcome news brings much-needed hope to Albertans, particularly health care workers, during this incredibly trying time in the pandemic. These staff are exhausted, and I hope seeing more vaccinations are on the way will show them there’s an end in sight. Albertans can be confident this vaccine is safe and will be administered quickly and efficiently.” said Minister Shandro.
“Alberta Health Services, Alberta Health and the COVID-19 task force have been hard at work preparing for the vaccine doses arriving this week and next. We have the plans in place to get the vaccines to where they need to go: into the arms of Albertans.” said Paul Wynnyk, chair, COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force.
“I am very pleased to hear that we will be able to immunize more of our front-line health-care workers and vulnerable Albertans before the end of the year. But this is not the end. We must continue to follow health measures to bend the curve, and until enough of us are immunized, we must continue to be each others’ vaccine.” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, chief medical officer of health.
Pending final approval from Health Canada, the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is expected to arrive in Alberta later in December. The Moderna vaccines can be transported to other locations, so the initial shipment will be used to immunize residents at long-term care locations beginning with those at highest risk, including two First Nations seniors facilities.
As more shipments arrive in early January, immunization will focus on Phase 1 priority populations and will include residents of long-term care and designated supportive living facilities, followed by seniors aged 75 and over and First Nations on reserve, Inuit and on-settlement Metis individuals aged 65 and over.
Phase 2 is still expected to start by April 2021 and will be targeted to the next groups of prioritized populations. Final decisions regarding eligibility in Phase 2 have not yet been determined.
Phase 3 will involve rolling out vaccinations to the general Alberta population, and is anticipated to start later in 2021.

Morogoro Region in Tanzania has improved its routine immunization performance following a number of initiatives undertaken by regional authorities and development partners, including USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership. MOMENTUM supported the region to use an approach called ‘Periodic Intensification of Routine Immunization’ — which uses time-limited and intermittent vaccine campaigns to administer routine vaccinations to under-vaccinated populations – to identify children who missed routine vaccines and those who didn't complete the full vaccine schedule.

Rabies vaccination in dogs and cats is of paramount importance. In usa has been infected with rabies and in recent years dozens of cases of rabies-infested animals have been discovered that have not been immunized by a emergency vet as required by law, infecting all mammals including humans and caused by RNA virus. Transmission of the disease is mainly caused by biting, but the clinical signs are not specific but can cause neurological spasms and signs, rabies is incurable and in the case of clinical signs, the disease can not be treated.
Emergency vet think that The cause of rabies is viral and belongs to a family of RNA viruses and is one of the first diseases to be developed against the vaccine in 1885. The disease affects all mammals and it is now known that every few minutes a person dies in the world of rabies, especially in developing countries. The spread of the virus is global and can be transmitted by any individual belonging to the mammals (eg, dogs, cats, foxes, cows, etc.).
How do you get the disease? How does the disease progress?
1.The virus is secreted in the infected animal's saliva. The transmission is carried out by an animal bite whose saliva contains the virus or by contact with the saliva with exposed wounds. The virus migrates in the nervous system toward the spinal cord, where it proliferate quickly and rises toward the brain. When it reaches the brain, clinical signs begin to appear and the virus is secreted in the animal's saliva, sometimes the secretion of saliva occurs before the onset of clinical signs (sometimes even two weeks before).
2. The time from the bite to the onset of the signs can last from one day to the next, depending on the distance of the bitten area and the amount of virus injected (bite more than licking).
What are the clinical signs of rabies infection?
The disease can affect any mammal of any age. The clinical signs are not very specific and can be
Primary signs - restlessness, lack of eating, personality changes and vomiting and vomiting
In more advanced stages - depression, extreme restlessness, demancy, aggression, change of voice, fearless attack, difficulties in swallowing and eating, eating feces and non-food items.
In humans, the main clinical signs are fear of water (hydrophobia). Patients with the disease can not drink even a glass of water and are affected by paralyzing fear as a result of contact with water.
What is the reccommand treatment of the rabid animal by emergency vet?
Emergency vet do not treat an animal suspected of rabies and we send it to quarantine for about 10 days to see if the animal develops clinical signs that are suspicious of the disease.
A person bitten by a suspected rabid animal must go to the Ministry of Health and receive a passive vaccination against rabies as soon as possible. As soon as clinical signs appear, the disease is incurable.

These children hold much more than a vaccination card in their hands. They hold hope for a healthier future. Since PATH helped India introduce a vaccine against Japanese encephalitis in 2006, nearly 75 million children have been vaccinated against the disease. With continued investment in the immunization system—including research, delivery, education, and integrated health systems—we can end needless deaths and suffering from many diseases.

There have been no new cases of wild polio virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo since December 2011, a marked contrast from a high of 100 cases in 2010. World Immunizations Week, April 24 to 30, 2015, presented an opportunity to celebrate this exciting public health milestone and offered a chance to commit to reaching all the children who have not yet been vaccinated against preventable diseases. USAID contributes $3.5 million each year to polio vaccination efforts in the DRC through the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and USAID’s Integrated Health Project. USAID also supports immunizations worldwide through direct support to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.
On April 28, 2015, in Mbankana, Kinshasa province, USAID officials joined the Prime Minister of the DRC, Augustin Matata Ponyo, the DRC Minister of Health, Dr. Felix Kabange Numbi, and representatives from GAVI and other international donors, at a ceremony at a newly built health center. The event honored DRC’s efforts to remain polio-free and launched a fleet of new refrigerated trucks for the safe transport of vaccines to remote areas of the country.
Premier John Horgan, Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer, and Dr. Penny Ballem, executive lead for B.C.’s immunization plan, announce that more than 400,000 people in British Columbia will be immunized from March to early April as the Province moves into Phase 2 of the largest immunization rollout in B.C.’s history.
