The clinic previously closed April 16 after exhausting its supply of vaccine. It reopened Sunday and had been in operation every day this week before running out Friday.
All drive-thru and walk-in clinics will be on a
first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is necessary. Residents can attend at their convenience. However, if you have a booked appointment and choose to attend a drive-thru or walk-in clinic, please ensure you cancel this appointment to allow others eligible to take your place. Please ensure you check the most up-to-date information at www.saskatchewan.ca/drive-thru-vax before attending any drive-thru/walk-in clinic. Vaccine supply remains limited so as a result drive-thru/walk-in clinics may close early, depending on demand.
