Many pharmacies across Saskatchewan will receive COVID-19 vaccines as they embark on a pilot project to deliver jabs.
Sixty-three pharmacies in 14 communities will be participating.
According to Dawn Martin, chief executive officer for the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan, pharmacies are receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
The Pfizer vaccine is kept at ultra-low temperatures and has a limited shelf life once it’s been thawed.
“That pharmacist and pharmacy team will have about four or five days to get it into people’s arms,” Martin said.
“That’s part of the challenge, in terms of their ability to really quickly ramp up and make sure that none of that vaccine is wasted.”
