As of July 23, the Saskatchewan Health Authority has more than 52,000 booked appointment spaces available for the COVID-19 vaccine.
There are also openings at drive-thru, walk-in, and pop-up clinics. The SHA says available appointment times vary by location, so residents should book online to get the most up to date information. The AstraZeneca vaccine is available at some clinics by request.
“Immunization continues across the province, but we will continue to see COVID-19 transmission over the summer and into the fall, particularly among unvaccinated populations,” SHA officials said in a media release. “Variants of Concern (VOC) continue to develop, are more transmissible than the original strain of COVID-19, and are potentially more dangerous.”
