Those who are eligible are asked to enter the grounds through the LewvanDrive and 11th Avenue entrance and follow the green signs for the immunization drive-thru clinic.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority said the site will continue to open up to other ages, in reverse order from oldest to youngest.

"Saskatchewan residents are being vaccinated as fast as supply allowsand is happening in phases,so people most at risk get it first," the SHA said in a newsrelease. "More groups will be eligible as Saskatchewan receives more doses. Once you become eligible, you will always be eligible to receive immunization."

Saskatchewan has received 15,500 doses of AstraZeneca-Oxford's COVID-19 vaccine. The drive-thru clinic will remain open until all doses have been administered.
