By the end of the day today, all residents of licensed personal care homes that chose to be vaccinated for COVID-19 will have received their first dose of the vaccine.

Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson made the announcement yesterday saying they had committed to ensuring the first doses for all licensed PCH were available within 28 days.

“I want to thank all the health-care providers on the front lines and the members of the Vaccine Implementation Task Force for making this possible, as well as for their hard work, detailed plans and commitment to protecting some of the most vulnerable Manitobans.”

The McCreary-Alonsa Health Centre is the final site where residents will receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Earlier this week, the province released a four-stage immunization plan for covid-19 vaccines.
