Officials with Manitoba’s vaccine task force provided an update on how the immunization campaign is progressing.
Co-lead of the province's vaccine task force, Johanu Botha, confirmed some Manitobans have been experiencing issues trying to book appointments this week at some vaccination supersites, including the site at Brandon’s Keystone Centre.
Botha says the province has been opening up more appointments each day, which are being “swallowed up pretty fast, for now.”
Going forward, he says Manitobans can expect to see the vaccination sites to get into a “groove” where appointments will almost always be available at the supersites.
Appointments for super sites or pop-ups can be made by calling (toll-free) 1-844-626-8222 (1-844-MAN-VACC). Supersite appointments can also be made online.
The eligibility criteria for the general public will remain the same for the time being — individuals 65 years of age or older, and First Nations people 45 and older.
Earlier this week the province announced more COVID vaccine pop-up clinics — with plans to announce more pop-ups in the future. Click here to see the latest schedule from the province.
