Vaccination update
There were 525 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered yesterday in Saskatchewan, bringing the total number of vaccines administered in the province to 46,788. With this, 101 per cent of the doses received have been administered to date. This overage is due to efficiencies in drawing extra doses from vials of vaccine received.
Saskatchewan will receive less Moderna vaccine than originally expected for the week of Feb. 22. In light of this reduction, the Ministry of Health and the Saskatchewan Health Authority will need to review distribution plans.
The 525 doses were administered in the following zones: Far North West (175), Far North Central (21), Far North East (81), North East (66), North Central (171) and North West (11).
