To date, 33,361 doses of vaccine have been administered including 28,274 first doses and 5,087 second doses. Eligible Manitobans can continue to make immunization appointments next week at the super site in Thompson.

A total of 29,751 doses of vaccine have been administered in Manitoba including 26,349 first doses and 3,402 second doses. Beginning this week, every dose of vaccine administered will be a second dose, meaning more Manitobans will have fuller protection against COVID-19. 

This morning, the federal government advised Manitoba to expect a third supply reduction of the Pfizer vaccine. In the week of Feb. 1, Manitoba will receive two trays of vaccine (2,340 doses) instead of five (5,850 doses). Projections for the week of Feb. 8 are no longer being provided.

A new online dashboard is being launched today at manitoba.ca to provide timely information to Manitobans about the immunization campaign. It is updated daily and includes doses received and administered, percentage of Manitobans aged 18 or older who are fully vaccinated, a projection on the number of immunizations planned over the next 28 days and immunization statistics based on age, sex and region of residence.

Manitoba’s Focused Immunization Teams (FITs) continue to immunize residents at personal care homes (PCHs) across the province. First doses of the vaccine will now be given to all eligible PCH residents by the end of January, more than a week ahead of initial projections.

To date, 13,539 doses of vaccine have been administered, including 11,401 first doses and 2,138 second doses. At this time, focused immunization teams are providing immunizations at personal care homes across the province. It is expected that all personal care home residents will receive their first vaccine dose by mid-February. At this time, 281 personal care home residents have been immunized.

The eligibility criteria for COVID-19 vaccination have been expanded to include staff employed in congregate group care settings who provide direct care to individuals in the Community Living disABILITY Services, Child and Family Services, Homeless Shelters and Family Violence Shelters. Manitoba Families will work directly with agencies to identify eligible staff, and will contact staff directly to schedule appointments.

A total of 10,353 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Manitoba to date. Vaccinations began today in personal care homes across the province through Focused Immunization Teams (FITs). It is expected that all personal care home residents will receive their first vaccine dose within the next 28 days.
