The province’s vaccine implementation task force plans to put less focus on supersites, and more on pop-up clinics and other forms of outreach.
The task force’s operations and logistics lead, Johanu Botha says the province has enough doses to vaccinate everyone who wants a shot.
“We’re continuing our shift from the focus on volume to access and accessibility. Part of that shift will involve adjusting the days and hours of operation in supersites across the province.”
This shift will result in changes for staff including an adjustment in hours for some. Staff have been notified and Shared Health is working with them in this transition. There is no reduction in positions.
The province is working with regional health authorities and Indigenous partners to ensure vaccines are available to individuals who have been evacuated due to wildfires and wish to get the vaccine.
Currently, 79.1 percent of Manitobans have their first dose, and 67.8 percent have their second.
The next goal on the 4-3-2-One Great Summer reopening path is for 80 percent of Manitobans to have one dose and 75 percent to have two.
