Alberta's Kenney says COVID-19 a "crisis of the unvaccinated," offers $100 for vaccinations | FULL
In an effort to get more eligible Albertans vaccinated against COVID-19, the province is offering a $100 incentive to anyone who goes out and gets their first or second dose.
Premier Jason Kenney made the announcement Friday morning in his first media appearance since Aug. 9. He was joined by Health Minister Tyler Shandro, chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw and head of Alberta Health Services Dr. Verna Yiu for the update.
“The Delta variant is ripping its way through this group at an aggressive rate,” Kenney said of the unvaccinated.
Since July 1, data has shown those between the ages of 20 and 59 who are not vaccinated have had 50 to 60 times higher risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19, compared to those who are fully vaccinated.
According to Kenney, more than 80 per cent of all COVID-19 hospitalizations have been unvaccinated people since Aug. 1.
Most restrictions were lifted in Alberta on July 1, but the province is bringing some back in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, especially the Delta variant.
Effective Saturday, Sept. 3 at 8 a.m., face masks will be mandatory in all public spaces and workplaces. That means employees must mask for all indoor settings, except for at-work stations or when there are two metres of space or barriers in place.
