Regina, SK - Beginning Thursday, March 11, 2021, at 8 a.m., residents ages 85 and over from across the province will be able to book their COVID-19 vaccine appointment online or over the phone.
"The launch of the new patient booking system is a huge step forward in our efforts to get faster and more efficient at delivering COVID-19 vaccines," Health Minister Paul Merriman said. "Booking your appointment online will only take a few minutes, making things simple and fast for those who are scheduling their appointments."
Users who aren't comfortable with, or don't have access to technology can book by phone. Family and friends who aren't yet eligible can also book on behalf of someone who is eligible.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority's (SHA) new online booking system can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/COVID19-vaccine, and will also indicate which age category is currently eligible for appointments. It is also mobile friendly. Alternatively, patients can speak by phone to a booking agent for help with their appointment. The Vaccine Call Centre operates 8 am to 11 pm, 7 days per week and can be accessed by calling 1-833-SASK-VAX (1-833-727-5829).
To book an appointment using the new online system, you will need:
- a valid health card; and
- a cellphone number or email address where notifications will be sent.
To ensure a positive experience for everyone and better align demand with vaccine supply, the SHA is opening up online booking initially to only a targeted age group: 85 years of age and older. In the coming days based on an available supply of vaccine, the SHA will announce further age groups eligible to book their appointments.
This release is distributed by the City of Lloydminster on behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan.
