I have posted my letter to the Minister of Primary and Preventive Health Care strongly recommending that the Novavax Fall 2026 COVID vaccine, a non-mRNA vaccine, as well as the mRNA vaccines, be made available to all Albertans free of charge. PLEASE, PLEASE, my fellow Albertans, send supporting correspondence to the same minister in massive volume. Here is the website address: alberta.ca/contact-a-cabinet… My letter is below: Dear Minister: As a physician involved in the care of a LARGE NUMBER of Long COVID patients and an immunocompromised, disabled Albertan myself, I strongly recommend that the Alberta ministry of Health make available to all residents of this province FREE OF CHARGE the fall 2026 Novavax COVID vaccine as an alternative to either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine.  These have already been paid for with Albertans' taxes. I expect that this strong recommendation will be expedited in an open, transparent fashion with extensive communication. Leslie A. Kasza MD FRCPC

My MD FRCPC in internal medicine and cardiology STRONGLY endorses this Hillcrest Card Company’s statement. Me too.:))

A psychiatrist who trained in India, practiced in the UK NHS, then gets full specialist licensure in BC through the standard College process — and can immediately start certifying patients under the Mental Health Act, prescribing high-cost depot injections through manufacturer programs like PANORAMA, and triggering police warrants for non-compliance. The system is designed this way: once licensed and in good standing with CPSBC, they have the same legal powers as any other FRCPC psychiatrist. No extra scrutiny for IMGs in this domain beyond the initial credentialing. And BC’s “deemed consent” rules give them broad authority once a patient is certified. The failure is @cpsbc_ca level and the regulatory bodies
