The Battlefords opened a drive-thru COVID-19 immunization clinic for age 55+ beginning Saturday April 3 - one day earlier than announced on Thursday. All residents are urged to seek vaccination as soon as they become eligible in order to protect themselves and those around them.
This clinic will be administering the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The drive-thru will be running April 3 through Wednesday, April 7, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Cat Finning building on Highway 16 on the way to Lloydminster. Direction signs are posted.
The drive-thru site will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Only those 55 years of age and older on the date of immunization will receive vaccine.
The SHA asks that to ensure a positive experience for those eligible and minimize waits, please do not attend the clinic unless you have been advised your age is eligible.
If you choose to access the drive-thru rather than keeping your booked appointment, please ensure you cancel online. Visit www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-vaccine and select ‘Book or change my appointment.’ You can cancel online even if you booked over the phone. You can also call 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829) if you are unable to complete your request online.
Until most Saskatchewan residents are protected by the vaccine, you must continue following all public health orders and guidelines. COVID-19 is everywhere in Saskatchewan.
It is the responsibility of every person to strictly adhere to all public health orders and measures, including:
• Keep 2 metres away from others when in public and wear a mask.
• Limit gatherings and ensure gathering sizes do not exceed public health orders.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose, mouth or mask with unwashed hands.
• Stay home if you are unwell; seek health care services when you help.
• Regularly monitor your health for any COVID-19 symptoms and seek testing.
Thank-you for your patience as we enhance COVID-19 immunization access across the province in the coming weeks. For more information on COVID-19, including vaccinations, please visit saskatchewan.ca/COVID19.
