With more than 70 per cent of residents over the age of 18 having received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, the full implementation of Step 3 of the Re-Opening Roadmap will occur on Sunday, July 11.
That means that as of Sunday, July 11, all public health orders will be removed. This includes the removal of the province-wide mandatory masking order, and the removal of limits on events and gathering sizes.
As of end of day Saturday, June 19, there were an additional 961 vaccinations administered in Saskatchewan, including 70 doses in the southeast region, bringing the total number of vaccines administered in the province to 998,779.
Eighty per cent of those over the age of 40+ have received their first dose, 74 per cent of those 30+ have received their first dose, 70 per cent of those 18+ have received their first dose, while 69 per cent of those 12+ have also received their first dose.
Second Dose Schedule
Anyone who received their first dose on or before May 15 is now eligible for their second vaccine.
Individuals diagnosed with or being treated for cancer and those who have received solid organ transplants will receive a letter of eligibility in the mail that will allow them priority access to a second dose.
When all persons 12 and older become eligible to receive their second doses starting June 24, second doses can be completed any time after 28 days. With the Delta variant circulating in Saskatchewan, it remains recommended that all residents receive second dose vaccinations as soon as you are eligible.
