Saskatchewan has now reached 80 per cent of all eligible residents receiving their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and 71 per cent have received two. A news release from the provincial government says there has been an uptick in vaccinations since it was announced you would need proof of vaccination or a negative test requirement as of October 1st for all provincial employees, and for several establishments, businesses and venues.
From September 10th to the 16th, prior to the announcement, 15,358 vaccinations were given with 7,052 being first shots and then from the 17th to the 23rd, 25,9558 were vaccinated and 14,801 were first shots. That’s a 69 per cent increase in first shots from the week prior.
The province is encouraging everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated, and notes that the vast majority of people in the hospital for COVID-19 in Saskatchewan is unvaccinated.
