The Saskatoon Tribal Council will be administering 2,000 extra AstraZeneca-Oxford doses at the Indigenous-led immunization site at SaskTel Centre this week. This initiative is a collaboration between the council and Indigenous Services Canada to accept walk-ins for the vaccine from today until Saturday. "We've been pretty slow," said Tribal Chief Mark Arcand. Arcand says the council is also open to the possibility of extending the timeline for the vaccination opportunity if it is approved by Indigenous Services Canada and Saskatchewan Health Authority. Walk-ins for the vaccine are available from 9 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. CST daily until Friday.
