Starting Friday, April 23rd Manitobans in high-risk communities can receive a vaccine if they work:
- At a school
- At a child-care or daycare provider
- At a food processing facility
- At a grocery store, convenience store, or retail gas location
- As a public health inspector, health officer, or workplace safety officer

The province has yet to decide which communities will be determined as high-risk. Details are expected to be released on Friday.
