[Alberta Students' Executive Council (ASEC) @AlbertaStudents]

@AHS_media's mandate is to vaccinate healthcare workers with increased COVID-19 exposure.

We call upon Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services to vaccinate healthcare students on the front lines of COVID-19

#mNRAccess #ableg @CAUS @PauwlinaD @UCalgaryGAAC

[UCalgary GAAC @UCalgaryGAAC]

We are advocating for all Healthcare learners on high risk teams to be vaccinated as part of their team as per the roll out strategy. Right now, staff on the teams are being vaccinated but the learners on the team are not. Fed guidance and other prov have included learners!

[Alberta Students' Executive Council (ASEC) @AlbertaStudents]

Healthcare students treating patients are left behind in the government’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan.

They perform many of the same duties as healthcare workers included in the plan.
