REGINA -- The Ministry of Health reported the drive-thru vaccine clinic in Regina will be closed for the next two weeks.
All other drive-thru clinics in the province will continue serving residents aged 48 to 54.
“The drive-thru immunization clinic in Regina has now used up its supply of vaccine and has temporarily closed,” the Ministry of Health said in a news release. “Unless there is an unexpected increase in available vaccine supply, the Regina drive-thru clinic is not anticipated to re-open until May 2.”
