As the pharmacy vaccination pilot program continues to roll out in Saskatchewan, some say bookings have been slower than expected.
Neil Twyver is the business manager for Medi-Centre Pharmacy in Prince Albert. They received 150 doses of the Pfizer vaccine on Thursday. As of Friday morning, only 89 doses were spoken for.
âSo, our concern is, certainly over the next three days, because the vaccine has to be used by Monday night, that we may not be able to fill all those appointments and we donât want to waste any,â Twyver said. âWe would rather have those in arms rather than still in the vial.â
