Effective at 8 a.m. on May 18, 2021, eligibility will expand to age 16 and older for the entire province, including the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District. This applies to all immunization clinics: booked appointments, drive-thru/walk-ins, pharmacies and mobile clinics.
Prioritized front-line workers are also eligible. A list of those occupations is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-vax-eligibility. Eligible priority groups may visit a drive-thru or walk-in clinic, arrange an appointment with a participating pharmacy, or call 1-833-SaskVax (1-833-727-5829) to make an appointment through the SHA booking system. Prioritized front-line workers will be required to provide proof of employment at the time of immunization (a pay stub, letter from their employer, or a copy of a professional license). Once you become eligible based on age, you will not require proof of employment.
Second dose booking available begins Monday, May 17, 2021, for priority populations.
Beginning Monday, May 17, 2021, anyone who is 85 and older or anyone who received their first dose before February 15 will be eligible to book their second doses. Individuals diagnosed with or being treated for cancer and those who have received solid organ transplants will receive a letter of eligibility in the mail that will allow them priority access to a second dose.
For all other residents, eligibility to book for second doses will be announced according to the age-based and priority sequencing of first doses.
Second dose vaccinations will be available at participating pharmacies across the province, through the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) drive-thru and walk-in clinics as well as through clinics operated by Indigenous Services Canada and the Northern Inter-tribal Health Authority (NITHA).
At this time online booking is not yet available for second doses, it is anticipated to be available in the coming days.
Reminder to residents that 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, a drive-thru or walk-in clinic.

Details on drive-thru and walk-in clinics can be found at http://www.saskatchewan.ca/drive-thru-vax. Drive-thru and walk-in wait times are available here.
