No 'vaccine bans' coming to Alberta despite podcast comments
CTV
The province says no changes are coming to Alberta's COVID-19 vaccine availability, despite what appear to be claims from a UCP MLA that the government has discussed banning the shot.
The province says no changes are coming to Alberta's COVID-19 vaccine availability, despite what appear to be claims from a UCP MLA that the government has discussed banning the shot.
Eric Bouchard, who represents Calgary-Lougheed, appeared on the podcast “Unscrew the News” last month.
During the chat, vaccines — and Bouchard's vocal opposition to them — were discussed at length.
One short section in particular has brought forward questions about the province's shot strategy.
"I've had multiple lengthy conversations with Health Minister (Adriana) LaGrange," Bouchard told the host.
"And, there's no set date but … my win would be the shots are removed, of course."
Later, Bouchard suggested "the wheels are in motion" and that he's "optimistic" but the backbencher didn't explicitly say about what.
