COVID-19 Update for January 31: 35,359 Vaccines Delivered, 238 New Cases, 223 Recoveries, Four Deaths

Released on January 31, 2021

There were 120 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered yesterday in Saskatchewan, bringing the total number of vaccines administered in the province to 35,359.  As of January 31, 108 per cent of the doses received have been administered.  This overage is due to efficiencies in drawing extra doses from vials of vaccine received.

The doses were administered in the following zones: Far North Central (11) and Saskatoon (109) zones. 

With the recent announcement of a reduction in deliveries of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine over the next four weeks, the vaccine distribution schedule is being adjusted to account for these delays.  Due to this development, some communities originally slated to receive first doses will see delays.  Swift Current and Regina were slated to receive vaccine delivery next week for first dose administration to priority groups, but that will be rescheduled.
