Saskatchewan is scheduled to release details today about its plans to vaccinate the approximately 115,000 children who are in the five to 11 age group.
Health Canada authorized a COVID-19 vaccine for kids in that age range on Friday, and a UPS plane touched down in Hamilton, Ont. yesterday carrying thousands of pediatric doses.
Alberta is already allowing parents and guardians to pre-register online for a vaccination for children aged five to 11, and it says administration of shots will start late this week provided the doses arrive as expected.
Manitoba announced Friday that parents will be able to begin booking online or by phone “no sooner than” this morning at 6 a.m, and that appointments are expected to be available as early as the end of this week depending on when the first shipments arrive.
