Saskatchewan residents can now book appointments for flu shots.

Provincially operated flu shot clinics begin on Tuesday, October 12.

In a release the province says for the first time, the Saskatchewan Health Authority is providing an online option for booking flu shot appointments.

A flu shot booking tool is now available at www.4flu.ca.

Flu shot appointments can also be booked by telephone at 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-787-5829).

COVID-19 vaccinations will also be available at most SHA operated flu shot clinics, so residents can receive both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time and location if they choose.

COVID-19 vaccinations can also be booked using the same online flu shot appointment tool at www.4flu.ca or by telephone at 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-787-5829).

If you need both a COVID and flu shot, only one appointment is needed.

A complete list of pharmacies offering influenza vaccinations this season can be found on the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan website at www.skpharmacists.ca/site/patients/flu-shots.
