The Saskatchewan Health Authority has announced that effective 8 a.m. on June 2, acess has been accelerated for second doses of COVID-19 vaccine to anyone who is 65 years and older or who received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on or before March 22.
As announced June 1, residents of the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD) aged 50 or older are eligible for second doses regardless of when they received their first dose, as long as they have passed the minimum interval between doses for the vaccine brand.
For all other residents, eligibility to book for second doses will be announced according to the age-based and priority sequencing of first doses, as detailed on the Government of Saskatchewan's Second Dose Strategy.
Residents will be required to know the date of their first immunization. That information was noted on the card presented at the first dose immunization, or if misplaced can be found by calling 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829), or checking Immunization History on the resident's MySaskHealthRecord account.
