The government does say these timelines could change due to vaccine availability and that AstraZeneca is not included as they are awaiting advice on the use of AstraZeneca for timing of second doses.
Much like first doses, second doses will be made available through SHA drive-thru and walk-in clinics, clinics operated by Indigenous Services Canada and the Northern Inter-tribal Health Authority and pharmacies across Saskatchewan.
You should prepare for your second dose by making sure you know the date of your first dose. That can be found on the vaccination card you were given when that first dose was given.
Saskatchewan is hoping to have as many people as possible fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by early August.
On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health put out a tentative schedule for eligibility for second doses. The last group would become eligible July 26.
The government stressed timelines could change because of vaccine availability. It also noted: “AstraZeneca is not included in this table as we await advice on the use of AstraZeneca for timing of second doses.”
Those 85 and over and those who received their first doses before Feb. 15 currently are eligible to get their second shots. People who have been diagnosed with or are being treated for cancer and those who have received solid organ transplants will receive a letter of eligibility that will give them priority access to a second dose.
