Friday is the last day to get immunized at Saskatoon’s largest flu clinic, where more than 5,000 people were vaccinated on Thursday alone.
“So that was pretty much the highest number that we’ve done at Prairieland (Park) since our H1N1 days, which is pretty impressive,” immunization manager at the Saskatoon Health Region, Sarah Skanderbeg, said.
She said there was an approximate hour-long wait time as of Friday morning for everyone except families with children, who get fast-tracked and only have to wait about 20 minutes.
Approximately 40 nurses are giving shots at Prairieland Park until 7 p.m. Friday. Ten more nurses than there were on Wednesday have been brought in to speed up the process, Skanderbeg said.
