Alberta pharmacists play an important role in improving access to RSV immunization and helping patients understand the benefits of vaccination.

RxA will update this page as new provincial program information, vaccine guidance, and pharmacy resources become available.

RSV Immunization Program

Seasonal Vaccine Quick Reference 2026–27

RxA has developed a Seasonal Vaccine Quick Reference to help Alberta pharmacists quickly navigate vaccine eligibility and administration for the 2026–27 season.

The resource provides an at a glance overview of influenza, COVID 19, RSV and pneumococcal vaccines, including provincially funded eligibility, eligibility for administration by community pharmacists and key pharmacy considerations. It also includes a detailed reference for COVID 19 eligibility.

Alberta Blue Cross provides pharmacy-specific communications related to the administration and claiming of publicly funded RSV vaccine.

Alberta Immunization Policy and Vaccine Information

The Alberta Immunization Policy (AIP) is the primary source for provincial policy and clinical guidance related to publicly funded RSV immunization. Pharmacists should refer to the current version of the AIP when providing immunization services.
