The province is investigating how some Calgary Flames players and their families received the swine flu vaccine last week at a special clinic with the help of Alberta Health Services.
"I can't speculate on what happened, but we will have a fuller report very shortly," Premier Ed Stelmach said Tuesday.
The NHL team and its medical staff felt players should get the shots to protect against the H1N1 virus because of the risks associated with frequent physical contact with each other and other teams, as well as their frequent travel, said Flames president Ken King.
"But please be clear, I'm not characterizing them as a higher-degree of risk than some others," King told reporters.
