The 2022-23 Publicly Funded (Free) Flu Vaccine Program

Early vaccination means you are better protected. The flu vaccine is a safe, effective way to help people stay healthy, prevent illness and save lives.

• Flu shots are available at: public health clinics across the province, some physician and nurse practitioner offices and in local pharmacies.
• Anyone six months and older can receive the flu vaccine.
• Children age six months to five years must be immunized at an SHA public flu clinic, a public health office, or by a physician or nurse practitioner.
• Getting vaccinated is especially important for people at high-risk of influenza complications (pregnant women, young children, elderly, persons with underlying health conditions, immune-compromised) and their caregivers.
• This year, eligibility for the high-dose influenza vaccine (Fluzone®) has been expanded to all residents 65 years of age and older.
• Also new this year, all Saskatchewan residents can book the entire family’s flu and COVID-19 vaccinations online in one appointment. Family appointments can also be booked by telephone at 1-833-SASKVAX (1-833-727-5829). Families may also visit an SHA walk-in clinic to receive their vaccinations.
