Getting Your COVID-19 Vaccination
In Saskatchewan, COVID-19 vaccination is free and available through:
- Find the nearest SHA walk-in clinic, no appointment needed
- Participating pharmacies
- For communities without access to a nearby pharmacy, booked appointments may be available through the online booking system.
Immunization is one of the most effective ways to protect against severe illness from COVID-19. All COVID-19 vaccine being administered are safe and effective.
2. Get Ready To Book
When you go online, you'll be asked for the following information for the individual receiving the vaccine:
- First and last name
- Date of birth
- Health card number
- Email address or a phone number that can receive text messages
If you do not have a valid health card, cell phone and/or email address, please call 1-833-727-5829 to book your appointment.
The booking office does not have access to extra appointments than what's available online.
Family and friends can also book online on behalf of someone who is eligible.
Note: You will never be asked for your social insurance number, driver's licence number, or banking and credit card details.

To use the online booking option you must have a valid health card, cell phone and/or email address.

5. What to Expect at the Vaccine Clinic
Only people who are eligible will get their vaccine dose. You will not receive a vaccine if you are not yet eligible.
A parent/legal guardian must be present to provide verbal, informed consent for a minor. If the parent chooses an adult designate (e.g. grandparent, aunt) to accompany the child for a vaccine, a consent form signed by the parent/guardian must be presented.
Children at least 13 years of age up to and including 17 years of age, who are able to understand the benefits and possible reactions for each vaccine and the risks of not getting immunized, can legally consent to or refuse immunizations in Saskatchewan by providing mature minor informed consent to a healthcare provider.

6. Pharmacy Vaccine Administration
Since April 2021, Saskatchewan's vaccine delivery plan has utilized pharmacies to help with immunizations.
Participating Saskatchewan pharmacies are providing Health-Canada approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines only.
Please note – not all Saskatchewan pharmacies are participating in immunizations. Based on supply, pharmacies may not have all approved vaccines available to them.
Map of pharmacies participating in immunizations- Participating pharmacies will be determining their own booking procedures for the general public, following the age-based sequencing.
- Pharmacies will undertake their own awareness efforts, communicating directly with the public.
- Do not phone the Saskatchewan Health Authority vaccination line to book an appointment; do not try to book an appointment online – you cannot make vaccination appointments in pharmacies through these methods.
If you do not have a valid health card, cell phone and/or email address, please call HealthLine 811 to book your appointment.
