Vaccine update

There were 3,232 vaccines given Saturday in Saskatchewan. The province said that's the highest one-day total to date.

Clinics in North Battleford for priority health care workers start Monday. On Tuesday, long-term care residents and staff in North Battleford, Wilkie and Lloydminster will start getting the vaccine.

The province said production of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will have an impact for a few weeks.

"Pfizer is temporarily reducing deliveries, potentially by half, to all countries receiving vaccine manufactured at this facility, including Canada. In Saskatchewan, vaccines will continue to be administered as received according to priority sequence," a news release reads.
