Sask health minister asks northern leaders to act before COVID-19 outbreaks occur

There are plenty of vaccines to go around in northern Saskatchewan, according to Health Minister Paul Merriman, and northern leaders should communicate that with their communities. Merriman told Gormley guest host Mike Couros there are tens of thousands of COVID-19 vaccines available for all northern communities. “We have 42,000 vaccines up there, plus Indigenous Services Canada has an additional 14,000. Now, that’s on top of the pharmacies and the SHA which probably have another 400,000 vaccines throughout the province,” he said. On Monday, the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) asked the province for immediate help with resources and the ability to impose public health orders to try and stop a rapidly spreading COVID-19 infection on the Buffalo River Dene First Nation.

Incentives, last mile program needed to increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake: Sask NDP

Regina / 980 CJME Jul 28, 2021 | 4:28 PM Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili thinks the province should be looking at incentives and added outreach programs to get more people in Saskatchewan vaccinated. (Lara Fominoff/650 CKOM) Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili thinks Premier Scott Moe and Health Minister Paul Merriman have “packed it in” on the COVID front. “They’ve decided not just to put the toolbox away, but to throw it in the lake and ignore it,” Meili said during a news conference Wednesday. “They’ve refused over and over again to look at incentives. They’ve refused to ramp up a “last mile program” doing the outreach by phone, booking appointments, getting people in and they’ve also refused to put any barriers in the way so that people are sure to vaccinate before they go to large events where the virus could spread, like Rider games.”
