Eligibility to be immunized at a super site or pop-up clinic has been expanded to include individuals aged 54 or older and First Nation people aged 34 or older. Anyone who has been in Manitoba for one month or more can receive the vaccine at no cost if they meet provincial eligibility requirements.

Eligibility for the AstraZeneca/Covishield vaccine is being expanded to include all individuals aged 40 and over. This change will be in effect as of today. Previous prioritization for individuals with specific health conditions will no longer be in place.

Appointments

Appointments are currently available at super sites in Winnipeg (RBC Convention Centre), Brandon, Thompson, Selkirk and Morden. Eligible individuals can book their appointment at a super site online at protectmb.ca with an email address and health card number.

Pop-up clinics are also scheduled in a number of communities across the province in the coming weeks. Appointments for super sites or pop-ups can be made by calling (toll-free) 1-844-626-8222 (1-844-MAN-VACC).

Eligible people who would like to be immunized with AstraZeneca/Covishield at a medical clinic or pharmacy can use the COVID-19 Vaccine Shot Finder, located at gov.mb.ca.

All data in this bulletin is current as of April 18, unless noted otherwise.

At this time, only first dose appointments are available. The province will provide more information about planning for second doses in the weeks ahead.

When attending a vaccine appointment, people are reminded to bring their completed consent form (available online at protectmb.ca), wear a short-sleeved shirt, wear a mask, and bring their health card or other form of identification.
