The drop in age allows those who are 23 and over to make appointments and be vaccinated as well as participate in walk-in and drive-thru vaccination clinics which are open to them.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has also changed their appointment booking system to hold the appointment selected for five minutes to allow a person to finish filling out the on-line form without losing their appointment.

In the past the appointment booking system would often have someone selecting an appointment time to only have the appointment claimed by someone else who finished filling out the on-line form first.
