Saskatchewan will begin offering vaccination boosters to eligible populations starting Tuesday September 7th. They note real world experience indicates that there are factors that may contribute to the waning of effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccinations including the age of the recipients and if the individual is immunocompromised due to a medical condition or medication. Those eligible to receive booster immunization in the first phase include residents of long term care and personal care homes, transplant recipients and recipients of stable active treatment such as chemotherapy.
Eligibility letters will be sent either from your physician or from the Ministry of Health Drug Plan Branch. For information visit www.saskatchewan.ca/covid-19vaccine.
