Premier Scott Moe and Health Minister Paul Merriman toured one of the province’s mass COVID-19 immunization clinics Thursday.

The clinic is set up at the International Trade Centre at Regina’s Evraz Place.

“Saskatchewan's vaccine delivery plan has a goal of vaccinating as many people as possible, as quickly as possible,” Moe said in a media release.  “I am confident that Saskatchewan is well prepared to rapidly deliver immunizations when we start to receive adequate supplies of vaccine, and Regina's mass immunization clinic is a great example of how we are ready to deliver.”

While there is currently a limited amount of vaccines, once Evraz Place in Regina gets going, each table is anticipated to be able to deliver six to seven vaccines per hour to a maximum accommodation of 30 tables. A further 19 vaccines per hour would be able to be done at the drive-thru sites.

The plan for the delivery of vaccines will include both mobile and drive-thru options in some locations.

Evraz Place’s mass immunization clinic is one of 226 sites which includes nearly 150 mass clinics along with mobile clinics and drive-thru clinics to be located across the province. The province said that details of clinic locations and hours of operation will be available when Saskatchewan moves into Phase Two of the Saskatchewan COVID-19 immunizations delivery plan.

There will be a mass immunization clinic and drive-thru clinic set up in Moose Jaw in Phase 2 of the vaccine rollout.

“This is an all-hands-on-deck priority for our government as we work to help our residents stay healthy, prevent illness, and saves lives,” Merriman said in the news release. “I want to thank all of our health workforce who are and will be playing a key role in vaccinating our residents, including pharmacists, retired health professionals, and others who will be helping in the biggest vaccination campaign our province has seen.”
