Saskatchewan offers free routine childhood and adult immunizations, and free immunization programs for people at high risk.
Immunization programs for young children are delivered by public health nurses through local public health clinics. Immunization programs for school age students are delivered by public health nurses in school settings. Some physicians and Nurse Practitioners may also administer free publicly-funded vaccines (such as influenza or pneumococcal vaccines) to eligible patients.
Infants and pre-school children are eligible to receive free vaccines against many bacteria and viruses that cause serious diseases such as:
School-age children are eligible for the following publicly-funded vaccines.
All residents aged 6 months and older are eligible to get a free influenza vaccine every year.
The vaccine is particularly recommended to people at high risk of serious complications from influenza:
Free flu vaccines are available during the flu season through public health clinics, many pharmacies, and some physician and Nurse Practitioner offices.
For detailed information about flu clinic locations, dates and times:
For a list of pharmacies that offer the flu shot, check the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan website.
Travel and other vaccines are available for purchase through some public health or physician offices. You have to pay out of pocket for these privately purchased immunizations. The Ministry of Health does not reimburse for these vaccines.
Routine vaccines are provided by Public Health and other health-care providers throughout Saskatchewan. Immunizations have saved more lives in Canada in the last 50 years than any other health measure. "On-time" and "on schedule" immunizations provide the best protection against vaccine-preventable diseases and keep Saskatchewan's population healthy, safe and protected.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has 12 travel health locations in communities throughout the province. These clinics offer individual risk assessment and consultation, counselling and vaccinations to protect your health during trips outside Canada. These clinics meet the standards of the Public Health Agency of Canada for the Practice of Travel Medicine.
At the SHA Travel Health Centres, registered nurses with specialized training can vaccinate all ages, including children under the age of five – a great option for families planning a trip. Assessment for malaria and altitude illness with prescriptions for recommended medications is available at some of the Travel Health Centres. Some sites have travel health products available for purchase.
Certain vaccines can only be given at the larger centralized travel clinics. (For example, Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert are federally designated Yellow Fever vaccination centres). Please call ahead to ensure the appropriate vaccines are offered in your community.
Legal documentation of vaccinations may be required (i.e. Hajj and Umrah travellers).
Please plan early to allow ample time to complete your vaccination series.
Travel health services, including consultation and vaccinations, are not provincially funded. Travelers are responsible for the cost of each vaccine they receive.
Clinics accept credit cards, debit cards and cash.
