Vaccinations climbing in Sask. after COVID-19 crackdown, initial data shows – CBC

The province announced proof-of-vaccination policies on Thursday

As Saskatchewan broke multiple COVID-19 records over the weekend, there was at least one positive piece of information that started to become a little clearer.

COVID-19 vaccination numbers have begun to climb since Premier Scott Moe announced mandatory masking and proof-of-vaccination policies on Thursday.

On every day since the province announced proof-of-vaccination policies, it administered more first doses of the vaccine than it has on any day since the end of July.
