The province has lowered the age eligibility for the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines to all Manitobans aged 18 and older.

First doses of the AstraZeneca/Covisheild will continue to be administered, but only to people who might not otherwise be immunized at other sites. Most doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine will now be held for second-dose immunizations only, so people who have received their first dose of this vaccine will be able to receive their second dose within the recommended time frame.

The province says people will be able to begin booking second-dose appointments for all COVID-19 vaccines on May 22. 

Medical clinics and pharmacies will contact people who received their AstraZeneca/Covishield vaccine at these locations to book second doses, which are likely to begin in June.

There are currently supersites in Dauphin, Steinbach, Gimli, Winnipeg, Brandon, Thompson, Selkirk, and Morden.

Vaccine pop-up clinics are being held in Swan River, Neepawa, Shoal Lake, and Russell next week. You can find a full schedule for those clinics here. 

Appointments can be made at a vaccine supersite or pop-up clinic in the province by calling 1-844-626-8222.

To date, 591,497 doses of vaccine have been administered in Manitoba.
