Health Authority to continue mass vaccination program, COVID and flu vaccine both available

Oct 12, 2021 | 2:21 PM

With COVID-19 numbers continuing to rise, Saskatchewan residents will now have the opportunity to receive both their COVID and flu vaccines.

With influenza vaccination clinics starting in Saskatchewan Tuesday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has returned to mass immunization clinics, in addition to the pop-up mobile clinics that had been offered throughout August and September.

More than 50,000 appointments for immunization are currently available in the online Patient Booking System, in addition to some walk-in immunization clinics also available across the province. A further 24,000 appointments have already been booked.

For the first time, the SHA is providing an online option for booking your appointment. A flu shot booking tool is now available on its website at www.4flu.ca. Flu shot appointments can also be booked by telephone at 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829).

Also new this year, COVID-19 vaccinations will be available at most SHA operated flu shot clinics, so residents can receive both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time and location.

The COVID-19 vaccinations can be booked using the same online flu shot appointment tool or by phone. If you need both a COVID and flu shot, only one appointment is needed. Health staff are trained to offer both vaccines to those eligible.
