The Saskatchewan Health Authority has expanded the eligible age range for COVID-19 appointments to include all residents aged 65 years and older, effective March 24.
Appointments for this age group are still available for booking, either online or by calling the Vaccine Call Centre at 1 (833) SASK-VAX (727-5829). Residents booking online will need their health card to complete the process.
Individuals 50 to 64 years of age living in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and Phase One healthcare workers are also able to book their vaccines, but only by calling the Vaccine Call Centre. Residents age 65 and over in this area may book online or by phone.
People with underlying health conditions who are clinically vulnerable are also part of the current eligibility group. The majority of this group have been identified by their healthcare team and will receive a letter from the health authority in the next two weeks, which is required to book their appointments.
Currently, mass immunization clinics are the only method of vaccine delivery active in the province. The drive-through vaccine clinic in Regina is temporarily shut-down, awaiting another delivery of AstraZeneca vaccines.
As of March 23, public health is reporting that 149,209 vaccines have been delivered in Saskatchewan.
More information on vaccine delivery in Saskatchewan can be found at saskatchewan.ca/COVID19-vaccine.
