Over 39 per cent of Jasperities, or 2,236 people, have gotten at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of May 17, according to a new online map.
Just over five per cent, or 294 people, have been fully vaccinated.
On May 17, Alberta launched this new map that breaks down vaccine coverage by local geographic area.
“This map is a helpful tool for Albertans, and reflects our government’s commitment to transparency,” said Premier Jason Kenney in a statement.
“Since the start of this pandemic, Alberta has consistently provided more online information to Albertans than any other jurisdiction because we know that being informed helps us all to be part of the solution.”
The Municipality of Jasper had three active cases of COVID-19 as of May 17, along with 225 recoveries and six deaths.
In addition, 2,243,969 doses have been administered in Alberta, including 330,602 Albertans fully vaccinated with two doses.
All Albertans aged 12 and older are now eligible to book appointments through AHS or a participating pharmacy.
