Effective 8 a.m. on May 14, eligibility in the provincial age-based immunization program moves to 23 and older, except for residents living in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, where it remains at age 18 and older.
This applies to all immunization clinics: booked appointments, pharmacies, drive-thrus/walk-ins, and mobile.
Clinic availability is based on vaccine availability, and demand for appointments outweighs the current vaccine supply.
Residents are encouraged to consider immunization at their local pharmacy, or at a drive-thru or walk-in clinic.
Details on pharmacy immunizations can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-pharmacies.
Details on drive-thru and walk-in clinics can be found at http://www.saskatchewan.ca/drive-thru-vax.
Others eligible for the vaccine include:
- All remaining phase one health care workers;
- Additional front-line workers and first responders as identified in this list; and
- People with underlying health conditions who are clinically extremely vulnerable through an eligibility letter.
Those over the age of 23 years are able to book online 24/7 at saskatchewan.ca/COVID-19 vaccine.
For those under the current age eligibility, or needing additional support, booking is also available by phone at 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829). The call centre is open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., sevenQ days per week.
