The government of Manitoba announced today that it is expanding eligibility for third doses of COVID-19 shots.

All residents and staff of First Nation personal care homes will now be able to receive third doses.

Manitoba says this will further expand in October to residents of all personal care homes throughout the province. 

This builds on last week’s initial eligibility criteria for third doses, which included immunocompromised people requiring a third dose for travel or who previously received doses of vaccines that Health Canada disapproves of.
