All Residents 12+ Eligible for Second Doses

As advised by National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) on June 17, Pfizer and Moderna (mRNA) vaccines are interchangeable for second doses.听 Residents who received Pfizer or Moderna as their first dose should take whichever of those two vaccines is available to them when they become eligible for their second dose.听 If you received AstraZeneca as a first dose, you may also receive either Pfizer or Moderna for a second dose.听 Both mRNA vaccines have been approved by Health Canada as safe and effective and allow residents to become fully vaccinated as soon as they are eligible.

Limit COVID Transmission in your Community - Get Tested听

Getting tested assists the monitoring of active cases in the province, particularly with variants of concern in Saskatchewan.听 听Even if experiencing mild symptoms, stay home and seek a COVID-19 test.听听Even if you have been recently vaccinated, it can take up to three weeks for your immune system to respond from a first dose and two weeks after a second dose.听 Vaccines are not a cure preventing all possible transmission and you remain at risk of contracting COVID-19 during that time.听

COVID-19 testing is available to all residents.听 You can still receive a referral for COVID-19 testing through HealthLine 811 or a health care provider, and drive-thru testing sites are available without a referral seven days a week in Regina, Saskatoon, Yorkton and Prince Albert.听 Information on symptoms to watch for and how to get tested is available at听.
