With flu season quickly approaching, the Saskatchewan Health Authority has begun accepting bookings for immunizations. Appointments can be booked through the SHA Patient Booking System at www.4flu.ca, or by calling 1-833-727-5829.
The clinics will be starting the week of October 15th at multiple locations across the province.
Residents can book immunizations for themselves and up to five family members in one appointment through the SHA Patient Booking System at www.4flu.ca or by calling 1-833-727-5829 Monday to Friday. Influenza (flu) and COVID-19 immunization will also be available at participating local pharmacies and some physician and nurse practitioner offices. If you have a preferred pharmacy, please contact them to ensure they are offering influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations.
Dr. Tania Diener, SHA Medical Health Officer stressed, “Getting immunized is crucial in the fight against respiratory illness and will work to keep not only you but also your loved ones healthy.”
The groups that are most at risk include seniors, people with chronic health conditions and/or compromised immune systems, children under 5 and pregnant women. These high-risk groups as well as others are encouraged to receive their vaccine as soon as possible.
