There were 177 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered yesterday in Saskatchewan, bringing the total number of vaccines administered in the province to 35,763.  As of February 3, 109 per cent of the doses received have been administered.  This overage is due to efficiencies in drawing extra doses from vials of vaccine received.

The doses were administered in the following zones: Far North Central (10), Central East (11), and Saskatoon (156).  Back-dated corrections submitted to February 1 have realized an additional 11 doses of vaccine administered in the Central East zone.
