People stand in line for COVID-19 shot 1 day after Moe announces proof of vaccine program
CBC
Donna Swapp was one of many people standing in line on Friday at Regina's Southland Mall to get a COVID-19 shot.
One day after Premier Scott Moe announced a proof of vaccination program for Saskatchewan coming Oct. 1, some people in Regina and Saskatoon headed to the cities' COVID-19 walk-in vaccine clinics to get their first, second or even third shots.
"Today is the first day that I'm able to actually get it," said Swapp, who was waiting in line at Southland Mall to get her second dose of the Moderna vaccine.
The former Ontario resident said she already had an appointment on Wednesday, but the place ran out of vaccine before she could get her shot.
"That's why I had to come here [today] to get it."
Swapp said getting her second shot was important to her. She said she was thinking about her daughter, about returning to a normal life and about people who need surgeries in hospitals that are being put off because of COVID-19.
"I can't think of myself alone," she said.
