A message from Maskwacis Health Services
“Vaccine effectiveness varies slightly for the different variants, but Alberta data demonstrates that a complete dose remains 85 – 95% effective. A single dose offers some, but significantly less, protection
then 2 doses.”Maskwacis is currently at 43.4% first dose & 31.9% fully vaccinated.
