With the amount of imprudent tampering that is going on with the publishing of scientific results in Canada as of late it is quaintly surprising to see that Alberta will be leading the way with free flu vaccinations this year.
“EDMONTON – Alberta will offer seasonal and H1N1 flu protection in one shot when the province’s immunization program begins after Thanksgiving.
The shot will be free.
Health officials say the province has already received large shipments of influenza vaccine and will receive more throughout the flu season.”
We are acting on evidence based ideas and carrying them out. Alberta politics has way of surprising people, in this case, with a brief instance of lucidity.

That is funny – who’s the woman on the free center spot? Looks like Jenny McCarthy.

Vern – It is Jenny. In a lot of ways she is the head cheerleader for the anti-vax insanity.

Arb – That AHS is offering free flu shots to all Albertans does not surprise me. It seems it is entirely consistent with their H1N1 strategy developed last year.
