Sask lowers age restriction on AstraZeneca vaccine to 40

Saskatchewan is making AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine available to more people. The Ministry of Health announced Tuesday it was lowering the age restriction on the vaccine to 40 years old from 55. The governments of Alberta, B.C., Manitoba and Ontario already have made that move. However, the Saskatchewan government said there are currently fewer than 15,000 doses of the vaccine in the province and fewer than 9,000 are available to the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The rest have already been allocated to be administered. On Feb. 26, Health Canada approved AstraZeneca for use on everyone aged 18 and over, but the National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommended March 29 that the vaccine should only be given to people 55 and over due to concerns over blood clots.

She added that she expects the AstraZeneca vaccine to be available for those 18 and older in the near future.
