Flu Season Sick Note Alberta
Walk-in clinics are packed during flu season. Skip the 3-hour wait and get your official sick note from home.
Why Flu Season Makes Getting a Sick Note Harder
Every year from October to March, Alberta walk-in clinics see a massive surge in patients. Wait times that are normally 1-2 hours can stretch to 3-4+ hours during peak flu season. Many clinics stop accepting patients by mid-morning. Meanwhile, you're sick, contagious, and being forced to sit in a waiting room full of other sick people.
A Better Option During Flu Season
MedLetter lets you get your sick note without leaving bed. Fill out a 2-3 minute form describing your symptoms, a CPSA-registered physician reviews your request, and your signed sick note is delivered to your email within 6 hours.
What Your Employer Needs During Flu Season
Alberta employers cannot require you to specify your diagnosis. Your sick note only needs to confirm that you have a medical condition requiring time off and the recommended duration. MedLetter provides exactly what employers need — official letterhead, physician signature, registration number, and dates of absence.
