The Saskatchewan Health Authority has increased eligibility for the AstraZeneca drive-through clinic at Evraz Place to anyone 58 and over.
The clinic, which until late Sunday afternoon was only accepting people between aged 59 and over, announced at around 6:30 p.m that 58-year-olds were added to the list of those who were welcome.
The clinic opened Monday for people aged 64 and then dropped the eligibility to 60. After the National Advisory Committee on Immunization determined the AstraZeneca vaccine could be given to people 65 and over, the Regina clinic started accepting everyone in their 60s.
The clinic is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Wait times for the clinic can be found here and are updated hourly from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Information also is available at 107.5 FM on the radio dial.
People aged 67 and older still can book vaccination appointments online 24/7 using their health card here or by calling 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
Anyone who gets a shot at the drive-through clinic but who also had booked an appointment is reminded to cancel their booking online or by calling the SASKVAX phone number.
Access to Evraz Place for the drive-through clinic can only be made via the northbound lane of Lewvan Drive at the 11th Avenue entrance. Drivers should follow the green signs for the drive-through clinic.
Anyone going to the drive-through testing site at Evraz Place should follow the yellow signs. People going to the pre-booked mass immunization clinic can enter the grounds from Elphinstone Street and 10th Avenue and follow the blue signs.
