“That’s a tremendous number of people who are genuinely concerned for their own health and want to protect other around them,” said Karen Grauer, manager of disease control for Saskatoon Health Region.
Risk groups include adults over the age of 65, people with chronic health conditions or severe obesity, pregnant women, health-care workers, and children under the age of two.
“We want to see more families come forward this year with their children, especially children under age two,” said Grauer.
Saskatoon Health Region has a complete list of clinic locations along with more information.
