While the Saskatchewan Health Authority was made aware last week that its next expected shipment of 21,300 Moderna vaccines would be delayed up to six days, appointment booking eligibility remains unchanged.
Some appointments already booked will be impacted; however the majority of patients will receive direct notification of their rescheduled appointment through text or email.
A small number of patients chose to opt out of notifications from the booking system when they booked by phone. SHA says if you expected a notification but did not receive one, at any time, you can confirm your appointment details online, even if you booked over the phone. Visit www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-vaccine and select ‘My Appointment’ from the top menu once inside the online booking tool.
If you need to cancel your appointment, or reschedule for a different date and time, visit www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-vaccine and select ‘Book or change my appointment.’ You can cancel online even if you booked over the phone. You can also call 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829) if you are unable to complete your request online.
SHA says the ddlay of the Moderna vaccine stems from the manufacturer and is outside of SHA control.
