Public and Private Vaccine Funding
Publicly Funded Vaccines
Paid for through an Alberta immunization program when the patient meets current eligibility requirements. This may include eligible influenza, COVID-19, pneumococcal, RSV, and Tdap vaccinations — though not every publicly funded vaccine is provided by every pharmacy.
Private Vaccines
Paid for by the patient or submitted to a private insurance plan — often for travel, employer or school requirements, or doses outside a public program. Private payment doesn't automatically make a vaccine appropriate; the pharmacist still assesses eligibility and timing.

Vaccine Costs and Insurance
