The Manitoba government says new COVID-19 vaccines will be available to the general public in early to mid-October.

The first shots will be given to higher-risk people including those living in personal care homes, people in hospital, First Nations communities, and healthcare workers.

Public health officials are recommending that all previously immunized people six months and older should receive an updated vaccine this fall, to be given six months after a person's last dose or infection, whichever is later.

The province says the annual flu shot will also be available and people are recommended to get that vaccine as well.
