The Saskatchewan Health Authority is once again expanding the eligibility for booking COVID-19 vaccine appointments.
Starting Friday, anyone 58 years of age and older can book an appointment.
People aged 50 and over living in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, all remaining Phase 1 health-care workers, and people with underlying health conditions who are considered clinically extremely vulnerable also can make bookings.
As of Friday morning, individuals who are 58 and over can book an appointment online 24/7 using their health card here or by calling 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
People between the ages of 50 and 57 living in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District can book appointments by phone, but not online. Anyone 58 and over living in that district can use the online system.
Phase 1 health-care workers also can make bookings by phone.
People who are considered clinically extremely vulnerable have already been identified by their health-care team and will receive a letter of eligibility in the mail. The letter is required to make an appointment.
People in that category can’t book online unless they’re 58 or over and have not yet made an appointment.
The SHA also is communicating with group homes for persons with intellectual disabilities, shelters, and other congregate living facilities to discuss immunization.
