Eligibility to Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine

Starting October 13, 2026, all individuals 6 months and older are eligible to receive one dose of COVID-19 vaccine a minimum of 8 weeks from the previous season’s COVID-19 dose.

If applicable, those receiving Nuvaxovid, children 6 months to 4 years old and individuals who are immunocompromised may require additional dose(s) depending on their vaccination history.

While all eligible individuals are encouraged to receive COVID-19 vaccine, specific emphasis should be placed on individuals at increased risk of severe illness, complications, hospitalizations, and death from COVID-19, and their caregivers. Those most at risk are: 

• adults aged 65 or older, 
• people with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems, 
• pregnant individuals,  
• residents in personal care homes, long-term care, and chronic care facilities, 

• health care workers and other care providers in facilities and community settings 

  Refer to the Bulletin: Provincial Fall Immunization Program, Provincial Fall Immunization Policy, and COVID-19 Immunization Schedules and the Vaccine Pages in Chapter 10 of the Saskatchewan Immunization Manual for more information on the COVID-19 Vaccines, eligibility, and schedules for immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals of all ages.
