  • Stakeholder Update March 18
    SHA UPDATE – March 18, 2021 COVID-19 HIGHLIGHTS FOR HEALTH PARTNERS This communication is intended to provide timely and important information to our municipal leaders, health system partners, health and hospital foundations, and other community based organizations. Please feel free to distribute among your stakeholders as appropriate. |COVID-19| Immunization Campaign – 5 Minute Message Congratulations to the Regina IHICC team for their amazing work to set up a drive-thru immunization site in record time. Regina was chosen for the AstraZeneca drive-thru clinic due to the rising number of cases of COVID-19 variants of concern in that city. Thousands of people have come through and are now better protected, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated team. Learn more about their work in this week’s 5-minute message. Please see the Government of Saskatchewan website for updated information on the vaccine rollout. |COVID-19| COVID-19: So many vaccine options The world waited with anticipation throughout 2020 until we had an approved vaccine for COVID-19. Now, almost a year later, we have many vaccines that have been approved by Health Canada including Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca/Covishield, and Johnson & Johnson (Janssen). There are similarities and differences between the vaccines, but the one thing we know is that all vaccines achieve the end goal of working toward community immunity or what is sometimes called herd immunity. What is herd immunity? Herd immunity is when a large portion of the population in an area is immune to a specific disease. If enough people are immune to the disease, then the virus or bacteria cannot flourish in that community.
