Saskatoon residents can receive their COVID-19 vaccinations now that the mass clinic will reopen.
Health officials say the mass vaccine clinic at Prairieland Park is reopening to booked appointments Tuesday, Jan. 18, to a new location in Hall B instead of the previous location in Hall E.
“The new location will also start accepting walk-ins on Thursday, January 20,” stated officials. “The Prairieland vaccine clinic offers Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, as well as influenza vaccines.”
Health officials say the square footage of Hall B (40,000 sq. ft.) will allow the immunization team to meet the continued demand for COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, as well as flu shots.
For those looking to book an appointment for a vaccination, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) encourages them to visit the online booking system as the website is updated regularly and is the main source of information for all vaccine clinics in the province.
