Alberta's public health clinics offering routine immunizations remained open even as other health services shut down. Dr. Jim Kellner, pediatric infectious disease physician at the Alberta Children's Hospital and professor at the University of Calgary, suspects fewer Alberta kids are getting those routine childhood immunizations. "The bottom line is we really do not know for sure at all what has happened with routine childhood immunizations during this pandemic," she said. AHS did provide a breakdown of visits to public health clinics — which include routine childhood immunizations and a number of other health services. "All routine childhood immunization appointments have continued to proceed as booked, and new appointments continue to be taken," the statement reads.
