COVID-19 Update for January 11: 8,948 Vaccines Delivered, 412 New Cases, 162 New Recoveries, Eight New Deaths

The province is expecting 6,825 doses of the Pfizer vaccine and 5,400 doses of the Moderna vaccine to arrive this week; the confirmed date of arrival and distribution locations will be announced this week.

Given the ultra-low temperature requirements of the Pfizer vaccine, the Ministry of Health has received guidance from the manufacturer in order to support broader but still safe distribution.  This will permit public health to move to Pfizer vaccine into long term and personal care homes and clinic locations within the communities where Pzifer is being distributed.  This will start in Prince Albert immediately.  

As of January 11, a total of 8,948 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Saskatchewan.

Eight hundred and thirty-three of these doses were administered January 10 in Regina (222), Saskatoon (54), Prince Albert (117), the Far North East (234) and North East (206) zones. 

This brings the totals to 2,069 doses and 1,230 second doses of Pfizer in the Regina pilot program; 2,847 Pfizer doses in Saskatoon; 613 Pfizer doses in Prince Albert; 596 Moderna doses in the Far North West zone; 134 Moderna doses in the Far North Central zone; 1,071 Moderna doses in the Far North East zone; and 388 Moderna doses in the North East zone.  Note that some vaccinations taking place yesterday in the province’s north may not have been reported yet.
