The province is aiming to give 20,000 COVID-19 vaccine shots per day from April to June.
This all hinges on the vaccine supply, but that would amount to 1.5 million doses over the three month period.
The plan laid out by the province today states 70% of the daily doses will come from the vaccine supersites, 25% will come from doctors and pharmacists, and the last 5% will be delivered by pop-up clinics.
On February 8th, the Thompson Vaxport supersite will open, joining the supersites already in place at the Thompson Regional Community Centre, Brandon’s Keystone Centre, and in Winnipeg at the convention centre.
As early as March 1st, another three supersites will be launched, in the Interlake-Eastern health region, Southern Health region, and another one in Winnipeg. Five additional supersites are being planned for April, but the locations of those sites are still to be determined with regional health authorities.
Next week on Monday, February 8th, Flin Flon and The Pas are opening pop-up vaccine clinics, while Churchill, Gillam, Grand Rapids, Leaf Rapids, and Lynn Lake will open pop-up clinics soon.
