Children between the ages of 5 and 11 will be eligible to receive their third COVID-19 vaccination, starting Wednesday, August 31.

Parents can book appointments on-line or by calling 1-833-Sask-VAX, which is 1-833-727-5829.

Provincial Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab says the booster is especially important for children with immunosuppression or other chronic health conditions.

Some immunocompromised children may have already received their third COVID vaccine. They may now receive an additional dose four months after their third dose.
