SUN adds its voice to organizations calling for change to Sask COVID vaccine rollout

Calls for the provincial government to adjust its COVID-19 vaccine strategy are growing, with the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses adding its name to the list of those who have called for change. SUN president Tracy Zambory believes only about half of all Registered Nurses in the province have had at least one COVID-19 vaccination shot. There are about 10,000 RNs in Saskatchewan, more than 7,500 of whom are under the age of 50. As of Friday morning, only those 55 and over are eligible to book a vaccine appointment by telephone or online. Those who are 53 and 54 can access a drive-through in Regina for a Pfizer vaccine starting Friday, while others 55 and over can go to other drive-throughs and some walk-in clinics across the province if they choose the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Without priority under COVID-19 vaccine plan, Saskatoon police officers turn to leftover doses from clinics

  SASKATOON Amid climbing numbers of variant cases and the resulting calls for the province to shift its COVID-19 vaccine strategy to focus on essential workers, over a dozen Saskatoon police officers were vaccinated with extra doses from local clinics. We have had 17 frontline officers vaccinated with end of day surplus doses thanks to STC (Saskatoon Tribal Council) and Lighthouse clinics, Saskatoon Police Service Chief Troy Cooper tweeted on Thursday. Only 298 more doses would vaccinate the rest of our front line. If the plan changes it won’t take long to get that done, Cooper said. There were 189 variant cases confirmed in the Saskatoon area as of April 7, according to the province s COVID-19 update on Thursday. That s up from 18 as of March 29.
