Vaccines

55+ eligible for second COVID-19 vaccines starting Thursday

Jun 9, 2021 | 3:15 PM

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) expanded eligibility of second COVID-19 vaccine doses for those 55 years and older—the SHA announced in a statement on Wednesday.

Starting on Thursday at 8 a.m., anybody 55 or older, or those who received their first dose on or before April 7 are eligible for their second shots.

The SHA are also adding additional appointments to the patient booking system, for both first and second doses.

First doses are available to anybody 12 and older, and the SHA is encouraging those who have not received their first shot to book an appointment this week.

Eligibility remains unchanged for residents of the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD) at 40 years and older for second doses regardless of when they received their first dose as long as they have passed the minimum interval between doses for the vaccine brand.
