Masks are mandatory in all indoor public settings and workplaces. If you are not fully vaccinated and you are identified as a household contact, you should stay home for 14 days i. If you are partially vaccinated and you are identified as a household contact, you should stay home for 14 days i. International travellers Quarantine rules have changed for fully and partially vaccinated Canadians returning from travel outside of the country.
Learn more about isolation and quarantine requirements. International travel International travel requirements continue to evolve. Some jurisdictions are only accepting travellers that are fully immunized with vaccines they have authorized. The Government of Canada continues to work with jurisdictions around the world to have all vaccines authorized in Canada, including mixed series, recognized as valid doses.
Upon return to Canada, quarantine and testing requirements may be reduced for fully immunized travellers who meet specific conditions. Some private sector events, such as shows and concerts, may have different rules. For more information, visit the CDC website. Canada travel Travellers to Canada are required to show proof of full vaccination at the border to be considered for exemption from quarantine and testing requirements.
In Canada, individuals that have had 2 doses of an approved vaccine are considered fully vaccinated, even if each dose is a different type. For more information and instructions, visit the Government of Canada website. Alberta travel Alberta does not require proof of vaccination from visitors arriving from another part of Canada.

Janssen vaccine limited quantities available starting Nov. Who should get it Eligible Albertans age 18 years and older. It is available to those who have a contraindication to, or refuse, an mRNA vaccine. Due to limited quantities, call to book an appointment at select locations across Alberta. Who shouldn't get it Not currently authorized for people under May be less effective preventing spread to others, but evidence is still emerging. How it works Viral vector vaccines use a modified harmless virus vector to carry the genetic code for the COVID virus spike protein.
Once in the cells, the vaccine provides instructions for the cell to make the spike protein, which then cause your immune system to produce antibodies that will protect you against COVID Possible side effects Pain at injection site, body chills, feeling tired or feverish are common. Allergic reactions are rare. As with any medication, you should contact your health-care provider if you experience any health concerns.
Some rare reactions that have been reported and confirmed after taking Janssen vaccine are: Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome TTS.
The U. Who should get it Pfizer BioNTech is approved for people 5 and older Moderna is approved for people 12 and over Who shouldn't get it Consult your doctor if you have questions about your health conditions.
It does not alter your DNA. No major safety concerns have been identified. Rare cases of heart inflammation known as myocarditis and pericarditis after receiving a COVID vaccine have been reported internationally and in Canada. Investigations are ongoing. These are cases are rare, treatable, and typically mild. As of September 23, , there have been 24 reported cases of myocarditis in Alberta out of more than 6 million doses of COVID vaccines administered. Current evidence suggests a likely causal association between myocarditis and the mRNA vaccines.
Who should get it Eligible Albertans 18 and older. Albertans 18 and older can access the AstraZeneca vaccine if they have a contraindiction to, or refuse, the mRNA vaccines Second doses of AstraZeneca vaccine are also available to those who received the vaccine as their first dose. Who shouldn't get it Not currently recommended for people under Rare instances of blood clots known as VITT are under investigation.
These are rare and treatable. To date, Alberta has reported 5 cases and 1 death. Based on cases identified to date in Canada, the rate of VITT has been estimated at approximately one case in 55, first doses of vaccine.
The rate of VITT after a second dose is not clear yet, but data from the United Kingdom currently suggests it is much rarer than after first doses — roughly one case per , doses were reported. All 4 vaccines help our bodies learn how to protect us against future infection from the virus that causes COVID, but use a different mechanism to get the attention of the immune system: The AstraZeneca and Janssen vaccine uses a modified harmless virus vector to carry the genetic code for the COVID virus spike protein.
Moderna and Pfizer use a mRNA technology to teach cells how to make a protein to trigger an immune response and make antibodies to fight the real virus.
It may be less effective preventing spread to others, but evidence is still emerging. Viral vector vaccines AstraZeneca and Janssen : Rare cases of blood clots with low levels of blood platelets have occurred after vaccination with viral vector vaccines.
Duration of protection Vaccines offer not only good protection against illness but are also even better at preventing severe outcomes and hospitalizations after the second dose.

Polysorbate 80 tween 80 - suspected skin and sense organ toxin. Hydrochloric acid added to some vaccines to balance pH - suspected liver, immune, motor, respiratory, skin and sense organ toxin.
Sodium hydroxide - suspected respiratory, skin and sense organ toxin. Potassium chloride - suspected blood, liver and respiratory toxin. Formaldehyde formalin - a known carcinogen and suspected liver, immune, neurological, reproductive, respiratory, skin and sense organ toxin.
Also used in embalming fluids. Glutaraldehyde - suspected developmental, immune, reproductive, respiratory, skin and skin organ toxin. Polyoxyethylene - suspected endocrine toxin. Federal Register: April 22, Volume 63, Number 77 ][Page ] 5 vaccines hepatitis B, hepatitis A, pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus contain aluminum as an adjuvant. Aluminum accumulates in brain, muscle and bone tissue and can be linked to causing fibrosarcomas cancerous tumors at the injection site.
There has been a moratorium in this country on animal organ transplants in humans because of concerns of people contracting latent animal viruses. Despite the history of unscreened animal viruses infecting humans from injectable products like vaccines [monkey cells and SV40 virus and bovine serum and "Mad Cow Disease" bovine spongiform encephalopathy ], this practice continues with vaccines.
Live virus vaccines can sometimes infect the recipient and can even sometimes infect those in close contact with the recipient. These vaccines are given to young children, and vaccine immunity sometimes wears off for adults.
This can put a pregnant mother or immunocompromised adult at risk by being around a recently vaccinated child with live virus vaccines. For ALL 11 vaccines there have been NO long term studies on the cumulative effect on the child's developing immune system of combining all these vaccines together. For ALL 11 vaccines the biological mechanism for why some children react to a vaccine is not understood.
For ALL 11 vaccines there are no genetic or other lab screening tests available to determine which children will react to a vaccine. The highest risk of SIDS is between months of age. This is precisely when the first and second rounds of vaccinations are given to infants. Caused by the release of a toxin from bacteria after the specific bacteria has been infected by a specific virus B phage. Incubation period days. Symptoms: sore throat and low fever.
I nfection can reoccur again. Transmission: Airborne or direct contact Mostly associated with poor living conditions and poverty Can occur in vaccinated people who become asymptomatic carriers as a result of the vaccine. Treatment: Antibiotics. Is sensitive to most antibiotics. Last confirmed case was in Vaccine Side Effects: 1 in 4: nodule lasting for several weeks, local tenderness, fussiness, tiredness, poor appetite and vomiting.
Seizures, non-stop crying, high fever Long-term seizures, coma, lowered consciousness, permanent brain damage. Tetanus Disease Process: Anaerobic bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen that exists as a spore found in soil and animal feces mostly ruminants. Anaerobic conditions allow spores to germinate to the bacteria and produce a toxin called tetenospasmin. Incubation period days Types of tetanus: Neonatal — from unsterile cord cutting 3 rd world countries Cephalic — least common.
Facial nerve involvement lockjaw Localized — more common. Local spasms, lasts for weeks. Symptoms: headache, irritability, fever, chills, then prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. Recovery takes several weeks to months. Not contagious from person-to-person. Vaccine Info: Is a toxoid toxin is inactived with formaldehyde. There is no known amount of tetanus antibodies that is considered protective. Given as DTaP combination vaccine diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.
Vaccine Side Effects: As of August , there were 22, adverse events reported, with 67 deaths. Common side effects: site redness, pain, swelling, nodule, abscess Less common side effects: systemic painful joints, headache, nausea, vomiting, cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia, syncope, cranial nerve paralysis, neurological complications seizures and encephalopathy , Gulliian-Barre syndrome, death. A lot of adverse reactions are caused by excessive antibodies circulating causing molecular mimicry when the antibodies find and attack a sequence on normal organ tissue as would be found on the tetanus antigen.
The more tetanus vaccines a person receives, the higher likelihood of having an adverse reaction. Things to do if wounded to avoid contracting tetanus: Profound wound cleaning with soap and water. Encourage the wound to freely bleed. Apply hydrogen peroxide introduces oxygen into the wound Homeopathic remedies: Ledum and Hypericum Consider antibiotics metronidazole or penicillin or the immune globulin antibody IM injection Pertussis whooping cough Disease Process: Bacterial disease of the respiratory tract, caused by the release of multiple biologically active toxins from the bacteria Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis.
Parapertussis is a milder version. Symptoms: characteristic paroxysmal cough with vomiting. Newborns and young infants may have apnea and cyanotic episodes instead of coughing. Patients usually afebrile; fever indicates secondary bacterial infection. Incubation period is days. On average, immunity after a natural infection lasts years, and when people whose immunity has waned are re-exposed to pertussis, they rarely become infected, and their immunity is actually boosted.
Immunity after vaccination is incomplete, and only lasts a few years. Recurrent infection is possible. Can get a mild case of pertussis from the vaccine itself. Can get pertussis even if vaccinated. More common in children who have been vaccinated for it.
There was a steady downward trend in the incidence and mortality from whooping cough between and , and then in , there was a sudden upswing in the incidence. This is when they mandated vaccination. In a nationwide childhood immunization initiative was begun, and whooping cough vaccines were mandated for five and six year olds starting school. The dangerous new strains of whooping cough bacteria were reported in March The vaccine, researchers said, was responsible.
The reason for this is because, while whooping cough is primarily attributed to Bordetella pertussis infection, it is also caused by another closely related pathogen called B. Two years earlier, scientists at Penn State had already reported that the pertussis vaccine significantly enhanced the colonization of B.
Does not cover parapertussis. Acellular vaccine whole cell is not used anymore is a toxoid inactivated version of the toxin using formaldehyde. Full recovery in hrs. Have lifetime immunity. Symptoms last days, then complete recovery. Between , there were 6 cases of imported polio.
