Premier Scott Moe said on Thursday at the Saskatchewan legislature that he hopes May 18 is when residents 18 and over will have access to their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.
This information was among the updates from the government that Health Minister Paul Merriman described as “very good news” as the province continues its battle against COVID-19 variants. Merriman said if the vaccine supply stays at where it is or it improves, the province will be able to reach its targets to vaccinate people.
“425,000 total of Pfizer doses that are coming from between January until the May long weekend. On top of that, there’s about 125,000 doses from Moderna,” explained Merriman. “That gets us up to 550,000 doses plus the 70,000 AstraZeneca doses we got in. So anymore AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson would obviously compliment that.”
