Leading up to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Saskatchewan Health Authority implemented a vaccine promotion campaign funded by a $650,642 grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Immunization Partnership Fund. The program used electronic reminders, in-person engagement and direct marketing to increase uptake of vaccines in general, including mobile clinics to deliver COVID-19 vaccines.^[3]
