Help Prevent the Spread. Book your vaccination.

Be kind and respectful to others. We are all finding our way to return to normal, and our community has a way to go before we are all fully immunized.

The Town of Banff has removed the mandatory mask bylaw, but masks are recommended in crowded situations where you cannot stay 2-metres apart. 

Book your vaccine today. Call 811 to book your appointment, or book online at alberta.ca/Vaccine or visit banff.ca/COVIDhelp for local vaccine locations not listed on the Alberta website. If you know someone who needs help booking a vaccine due to language, literacy or visual barriers, contact help@banff.ca or call 403.762.1251.

• Be respectful of others who may choose to wear masks until the community is fully immunized. Follow requirements set by local businesses or organizations.
  
  
• Call 8-1-1 if you have questions about isolation requirements, vaccines or testing.
