The fall sitting of the legislature has now resumed. My staff and<br />
I will be proceeding with major amendments to the Elections<br />
Act which will improve transparency and accountability. I have<br />
provided a brief update below on some other issues. As always,<br />
feel free to contact me with any comments.<br />
albertans encouraged to ‘fall into the routine’ and<br />
get flu shot<br />
Alberta’s annual influenza immunization program will kick off<br />
Oct.15, and Albertans are encouraged to take advantage of the<br />
universal program once again. Similar to last year, the influenza<br />
vaccine will be offered free of charge to all Albertans six months<br />
of age and older. The vaccine will be available through public<br />
immunization clinics, as well as through some pharmacists and<br />
physician offices. A nasal spray vaccine (FluMist) will also be<br />
available for the first time this year, targeted towards eligible<br />
children between two and 17 years of age. While immunization<br />
is recommended for all Albertans, individuals at high risk for<br />
severe complications related to influenza (including children<br />
between the ages of six and 23 months, anyone over 65 years<br />
of age, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic medical<br />
conditions, including severe obesity), are encouraged to be<br />
immunized as soon as possible.<br />

year’s program, visit www.albertahealthservices.ca/influenza.<br />

I am also pleased to announce the launch of my revised website.<br />
I hope that you will all book mark it for future reference. Our<br />
goal is to have the website a resource not only for Government<br />
information but also a source of community information and<br />
events.<br />
