As of Tuesday, Saskatchewan residents can book appointments to get their Influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.

They will be available at public health clinics, participating local pharmacies as well as some physician and nurse practitioner offices.

Seniors, people with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems, children under the age of five and pregnant women are among those considered most at risk of contracting a respiratory illness.

Influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations are available, free of charge, to any eligible resident of the province aged six months and older. Children aged six months to five years can only be immunized at a Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) public health clinic, public health office or by a physician or nurse practitioner. You can have either vaccine, or both, and they can be administered at the same time.

Residents can locate a walk-in clinic or book immunizations for themselves or the entire family in one appointment through the SHA’s online booking tool available at www.4flu.ca or by calling 1-833-727-5829 Monday to Friday.

If residents want to go to their pharmacy, they are advised to contact them to ensure the pharmacy is offering COVID 19 vaccinations.
