With province[s] now responsible for purchasing COVID-19 vaccines, the Government of Saskatchewan says it’s figuring out what the coming flu season response will be.

The federal government announced in early January that it would stop funding COVID-19 vaccines this year, with provinces and territories now responsible for buying, determining the timing and rollout of the vaccinations.

“Plans are currently in development for the fall/winter 2025-26 COVID-19 immunization program,” said a written statement provided by Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health on Tuesday.

The ministry says that, at the moment, it is committed to continued provision of the current COVID-19 immunization program “based on scientific evidence and clinical expert recommendations made by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI).”
