The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses is saying the province’s COVID-19 vaccine plan unveiled Wednesday is optimistic.
However, President Tracy Zambory says just because a vaccine is coming doesn’t mean this should be an end of the road for public health measures related to COVID-19.
“Vaccination programs are are a very good thing and Saskatchewan has good ones for sure, but it’s likely to take the better part of 2021 to roll this all out,” Zambory said. “We can’t get lax in our following of the public health orders, we’re still going to have to mask, we’re still going to have to keep our bubbles tight (and) only go out when necessary.”
