News - COVID-19 Vaccine Bulletin

The Manitoba government has introduced a new app that will allow people to request and access their Manitoba immunization card. The Manitoba Immunization Card app will allow people to access their digital card when not connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data services.

All Manitoba supersites are open and offering walk-in and appointment-based vaccinations, with adjusted clinic hours. All people aged 12 and up are now eligible for their first or second dose. The date of the second appointment must be at least 28 days after the first vaccination.

As the vaccine campaign evolves, the demand on super sites and clinics is changing. Focus will now progressively shift from volume to access and increased community outreach. Part of that shift will involve adjusting the days and hours of operation in super sites across the province, effective Aug. 1.

Newcomers to Manitoba, immigrants, disenfranchised or homeless individuals are reminded they can get immunized despite not having a Manitoba health card. A vaccination can be administered at a super site, at one of the numerous community-led clinics or at a mobile van, which are all currently operating.

The demand for the Manitoba physical immunization card continues to be high. All cards requested by July 11 have been mailed out. Additional card stock has been secured and printing has resumed. Digital cards are available immediately. The physical cards will be mailed as soon as possible.

Beginning Saturday, July 24 and until the end of the month, the RBC Convention Centre super site will offer walk-in immunizations every day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pfizer and Moderna vaccine will both be available.

For young people aged 12 to 17 to be fully immunized for their return to school in the fall, they should receive their first vaccine by Tuesday, July 27. This allows for the minimum 28 days between doses and two weeks after the second dose for the best immune response. There are more than 29,000 Pfizer appointments available from now to the end of July.

All people aged 12 and up are now eligible to make their first- or second-dose appointment. The date of the second appointment must be at least 28 days after the first vaccination. There are thousands of Moderna and Pfizer appointments open and available to book as early as today.

A total of 9,070 doses of vaccine were administered during the July 14 walk-in Vax-a-Thon. For people who prefer to book an appointment, there are thousands of Moderna appointments open and available to book as early as today. Thousands of Pfizer appointments are also available to book for later in July.

On Wednesday July 14, all vaccine super sites throughout the province will be offering walk-ins only. For people who prefer to book an appointment, there are thousands of Moderna appointments open and available to book as early as today. Thousands of Pfizer appointments are also available to book for the second half of July.
