Sask. health announce Moderna shipment delays

Mar 26, 2021 | 11:28 AM

On March 25, 2021, Saskatchewan Health Authority was made aware that their next expected shipment of 21,300 Moderna vaccines would be delayed up to six days.

In a media release SHA said this delay stems from the manufacturer and is outside of SHA control.

Some appointments already booked will be impacted, it said. The SHA is still assessing the full impact and will notify impacted patients directly next week and reschedule their appointments. A further public announcement will also be made early next week. In the interim, no action is required from patients.

Appointment booking eligibility remains unchanged:

COVID-19 vaccine booking eligibility remains unchanged for Saturday, March 27 and Sunday, March 28. Eligible groups currently include all individuals 62 years of age and older, individuals 50 years of age and older living in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, all remaining phase one health care workers, and people with underlying health conditions who are clinically extremely vulnerable through an eligibility letter.
