An Edmonton doctor sparked anger online and denials from the Albertan government after alleging that staff administering COVID-19 vaccines have been instructed to throw out doses that go unused at the end of each day.
“Alberta Health has directed staff to WASTE the vaccine rather than administer to people not in phase 1a of the rollout. Yet another massive failure in our #COVID19AB response,” wrote Dr. Tehseen Ladha, a physician at Misericordia Community Hospital in Edmonton, on Twitter Monday night.
