Drive-thru vaccine clinics scheduled in Prince Albert

Apr 29, 2021 | 9:56 PM

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has announced drive-thru immunization clinics for Prince Albert April 29 to May 2.

They will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Thorpe’s Industry on Hwy 2 N. The SHA said patients driving to that location are encouraged to access the site via Central Ave. across the river. Signage will be in place to support traffic flow.

The type of vaccine offered at a clinic may vary depending on vaccine supply. The clinics are available to anyone 40 years of age and older, or anyone with valid eligibility letters or other proof of employment required for prioritized frontline workers. The SHA said additional locations will be added and promoted on Monday, May 3.

Travel restrictions related to the increase of variants of concern do not apply to essential medical appointments, such as immunization. Residents may travel to a community outside of their own to attend an immunization clinic, but are advised not to make any other stops or visits aside from the immunization clinic.
