A University of Saskatchewan professor says now that senior population is immunized and there are highly contagious new strains, the province may be missing the mark

Volunteers put on their personal protective equipment at a vaccination clinic run by the Saskatoon Tribal Council inside SaskTel centre in Saskatoon on April 15, 2021.Nazeem Muhajarine says he feels a sense of relief after receiving his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine last week at a centre in Saskatoon.

It puts Saskatchewan – with a population of just under 1.18 million – ahead of other provinces when it comes to doses delivered per capita. Data from a COVID-19 vaccination tracker, run by University of Saskatchewan students using federal and provincial data, suggests the province in outpacing Ontario and Quebec.

Drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinics have also been successful, said Muhajarine. One providing mass immunizations in Regina as the capital has became a hot spot for variants has especially worked well.Muhajarine said his own experience shows that organization at larger mass vaccination sites is also commendable.

“Workplace spreads and outbreaks have been quite prevalent,” Muhajarine said. “That’s been a huge contributor in Regina and has been a contributor in Saskatoon as well.”
