COVID-19 vaccine booking eligibility is being expanded. Starting March 14 at 8 a.m., the Saskatchewan Health Authority Patient Booking System will now include individuals 72 years of age and older
People meeting this criteria can book their appointment online 24/7 using their health card at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-vaccine; or call 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
Since Saskatchewan’s new booking system launched, 22,151 individuals in Saskatchewan 76 years of age and older have been booked for their COVID-19 vaccine. A total of 7,841 of those appointments have been made today (as of noon).
- 17,440, or 78.7 per cent of appointments have been booked online;
- 4,711 or 21.3 per cent of appointments have been booked through the phone line
- Please remember: booking online is the fastest way to make your appointment, if you are able. It only takes a few minutes. Please try booking online first before making a phone call to the booking office. Friends and family can also help you use the online tool if you need help.
Thank you to everyone for not attempting to book appointments until you become eligible- this allows those who are eligible to book more easily. Your continued patience is appreciated.
Vaccine Information:
What you need to know about appointment availability:
- Immunizations are only available by-appointment at this time. Drop-in and mobile clinics, as well as access through participating pharmacies will be available in the future.
- You can have a friend or family member go online or call to schedule your appointment for you. Identification will be required at the time of the actual appointment.
- You will receive confirmation soon after your appointment has been made. There is no need to call the phone line to confirm appointment details.
- Clinic availability is dependent on vaccine availability. Additional clinics will be added as Saskatchewan receives more doses.
- At this time, existing demand for vaccine far outweighs our available supplies.
- The booking office does not have access to extra appointments than what is available online.
- Second dose appointments are not available at this time. Public communication will take place once these appointments become available.
- Individuals are NOT eligible to receive COVID-19 Vaccine at this time if:
- You have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last 90 days.
- You have received any other vaccine in the last 14 days.
- You have received a dose of COVID-19 vaccine previously elsewhere.
