Alberta is seeing a diminishing demand for first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and that could translate into a longer wait for the province to fully reopen, says Premier Jason Kenney.
Monday’s update on COVID-19 in Alberta provided both encouraging and discouraging benchmarks in the province’s efforts to curb the spread of the virus.
The province reported 127 new cases, the smallest daily total since early October when the second wave was beginning to rise.
But there was also a low number of people who got their first dose of a vaccine: 9,179 received their first shot on Sunday, the lowest in a single day since early April, while another 15,914 people received their second dose.
