Dr. Hinshaw warns of COVID Scam
Seniors over the age of 75 have been receiving phone calls to book an appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, for a fee. Dr. Hinshaw advises people that if they receive such a phone call to hang up and call their local law enforcement. Alberta Health would never ask for a fee to be paid for an Albertan to receive a vaccine.
