Covered Population Update
The Saskatchewan Health Coverage Report is a count of persons who were eligible for Saskatchewan health insurance benefits as of June 30, and is the population data utilized by the Ministry of Health when reporting COVID-19 case and vaccination rates. The covered population data will be used for the COVID-19 vaccination rates at the provincial level for 12+ population and the age groups. Note that other reports will continue to utilize the 2020 covered population numbers in the provincial dashboard until the new data set is fully incorporated with a complete update targeted for the week of July 11. All vaccine administration details for the province, including first and second doses, can be found at https://dashboard.saskatchewan.ca/health-wellness.
