Manitoba now has the ability to deliver 20,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine per day but a lack of supply means those numbers can’t be met yet.

Currently, eligibility to be immunized at one of the super sites or temporary pop-up clinics include people age 65 or older and First Nation People aged 45 and over.

In a media briefing on Wednesday, March 24, 2021, the co-lead of Manitoba’s vaccine implementation task force, Johanu Botha told reporters that although appointments can be booked at the super sites and pop-up clinics, the sites will stop taking bookings once they have filled their appointments up to four weeks in advance due to ongoing supply issues.

So far in the immunization campaign 146,529 doses of vaccine have been administered including 99,091 first doses and 47,438 second doses.

To date Manitoba has received 233,540 doses of vaccine and says that every dose has been either administered, allocated to partners including First Nations, distributed to medical clinics and pharmacies or will be used at an appointment within the next five days.
