Alberta Health Services has expanded the H1N1 vaccination program to include all Albertans starting on Monday, November 23.

AHS will also open a seventh clinic in the southeast to ease congestion at the city's other clinics and accommodate Calgarians who want to get the shot.

The new clinic is on the 3rd floor of the South Calgary Health Centre, located at 31 Sunpark Plaza S.E.

All Clinics will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the following locations:

• South Calgary Health Centre, 3rd floor

AHS says that the vaccine supply is secure and that they will receive enough to immunize 50,000 people a day for the next few weeks.

Clinics will manage crowds by issuing wristbands to eliminate the need for people to line up before they open.

H1N1 vaccination clinics are scheduled to run until late December.
