Anyone who got their first shot on or before May 15 is now eligible for a second dose, regardless of age
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has changed the criteria for getting a second COVID-19 vaccination and is now basing people's eligibility solely on the date of their first shot.
Starting today, June 21, anyone who received their first COVID-19 vaccination on or before May 15 is eligible for their second shot.
That includes children 12 years old and older if they meet that date-based criteria.
Saskatchewan residents can find the date of their first immunization on the card handed out during vaccinations. Anyone who has misplaced that card can phone 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829) or check their vaccination history online at MySaskHealthRecord.
The SHA has more than 30,000 appointments available across the province for both first and second shots.
It is providing vaccinations at drive-thru and walk-in clinics and pharmacy appointments.
