SHA tweaks COVID vaccination appointment system
The Saskatchewan Health Authority has made a technical tweak to make it easier for people to book appointments to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
On Thursday, the SHA said it had changed its Vaccine Patient Booking System, which now can hold appointments for five minutes while a person fills out the necessary form.
“This upgrade was completed after receiving feedback about the frustrations of some patients, whose selected appointment times were no longer available by the time they finished filling out the necessary details, forcing them to find another appointment time,” the SHA said in a media release.
When a person selects a clinic and a time, they’ll have five minutes to book an appointment and confirm it. If five minutes elapse without the appointment being booked and confirmed, it will be released and the person will have to select another time.
