September 25, 2024: Alberta Government Delays in COVID and Influenza Vaccines Cost Lives
The Government of Alberta must rapidly inform the public and health care providers about the province’s campaign plan for influenza and COVID-19 immunizations.
The EZMSA urges government to:
1.Communicate to the public and health care workers when and where influenza and COVID-19 vaccines for all Albertans, particularly high-risk groups such as seniors, individuals with chronic conditions, and healthcare workers will be available.
2.Communicate to the public and health care workers when and where they can expect expedited distribution to clinics, pharmacies, and community health centers across the province.
3.Release campaign details for public service announcements designed to Increase public awareness of the importance, safety and effectiveness of immunization through clear and targeted messaging, including the proven benefit of vaccines in reducing hospitalizations and severe outcomes.

June 26, 2024: President’s Letter- Supporting and Valuing Long-Term Care
Our current LTC physician cohort in the Edmonton zone is quickly approaching retirement age. Without system changes that support and value incoming physicians, there will be a crisis in LTC. Instead, let us embrace this opportunity for change and create a system where work in LTC is both attractive and sustainable.
June 11, 2024: Open Letter in Support of Public Health
An open letter urges the Alberta Government to ensure parents have access to the rigorous analysis of current Alberta evidence about the continuing safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in children. Giving credence to conspiracy and misinformation, and ignoring scientific evidence, actively jeopardizes the health of our children while vaccine-preventable diseases are on the rise.
