When can I get a vaccine?

On March 18, we entered Phase 2 of the immunization plan. It focuses on the general population, starting with the oldest age group that hasn’t received a shot yet and moving down in age as more vaccines become available.

If you’re 26 or older, you can book a vaccination appointment.

There’ll be some exceptions, such as people at higher risk. That information can be found here.

On May 7, the provincial government laid out a timeline for when various age groups will become eligible for a vaccination. That timeline can be found right here.

How do I get a shot?

You can book online or by phone, or you can go to a drive-through or walk-in clinic as mentioned above.

If you’re 26 or older, you can go online to book an appointment. Or you can phone the Vaccine Call Centre.

If you live in the Northern Administrative District, anyone 18 and older can book their shots. However, the online option isn’t open to people aged 18 to 25, so it has to be over the phone.

Prioritized frontline workers — including teachers, firefighters, volunteer firefighters, corrections officers and others — also are eligible to book appointments.

If you’re trying to get an appointment for an eligible family member or friend, you can book on their behalf.

You’ll need a valid health card and a cellphone number or email address so they can reach you to confirm the appointment.

Pharmacies in Saskatchewan also are administering doses as part of a pilot project. More information on that program can be found here.

Once you have received your shot, you will receive proof of your immunization. It will be available both electronically and as a paper copy.

You’ll also need that card when you book your second dose. Details on that process, which was announced May 6, can be found right here.

As Phase 2 picks up speed, there won’t be a shortage of places to go to receive the vaccine.
