The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is alerting the public about COVID-19 vaccine appointments still available.

According to a media release, to be eligible to book an appointment you must be 70 years or older, as well as people 50 year or older living in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District. They’re also taking any remaining phase one healthcare workers.

“While the vast majority in this age group have either received their vaccine or have an appointment booked, the SHA does have a number of appointments available in various locations around the province in the next week, including Regina, where there is a noted increase in the number of variant cases,” the release stated.

“The SHA is urging those who are eligible to book these appointments as soon as possible, as eligibility to book will be opening up to further age groups in the coming days. If the location nearest you doesn’t have appointments, try searching other locations nearby.”

Appointments are being booked into April because of the demand for booking online and over the phone, SHA explained.
