Effective May 16, the SaskVax Call Centre will adjust hours of operation to operate seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

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, or at a drive-thru or walk-in clinic. Details on pharmacy immunizations can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-pharmacies. Details on drive-thru and walk-in clinics can be found at http://www.saskatchewan.ca/drive-thru-vax.
