Parents can book appointments at walk-in clinics operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority or Indigenous Services Canada beginning on October 26.

This provides an additional option for parents of children between the ages of six months and four years.  The Moderna vaccine for young children (six months to five years) has been available since July.

The Health Authority says being up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccinations protects against severe illness and hospitalization at any age.

• For the Pfizer vaccine, children six months up to four years are currently eligible for three doses as the approved, primary dose series.  For the Moderna vaccine, children six months up to five years are currently eligible for two doses as the approved, primary dose series.
• If your child under five years has had COVID-19, it is recommended they receive the dose they are eligible for eight weeks following infection.  Parents may decide to have their child’s COVID-19 vaccination completed sooner if they choose.
• While participating pharmacies throughout the province are currently administering COVID-19 vaccinations, including bivalent boosters, note that pharmacies are not able to administer vaccines to children under five years.
