Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine

• Protecting the health and well being of Albertans is a priority of this government.

• Arexvy was approved by Health Canada for use in adults 60 years of age and older on August 4, 2023.

• Alberta Health is awaiting guidance from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) prior to making recommendations on the use of Arexvy in Alberta.

• Alberta Health will not be funding Arexvy for the upcoming RSV season.

• Once vaccine supply arrives in Canada this fall, this vaccine will be available for purchase in Alberta, and so individuals in the eligible population (60+) may choose to access Arexvy if it is covered through private health insurance or if they want to pay out-of-pocket.
