Manitoba Health advises that the first shipments of updated COVID-19 and seasonal flu vaccines are now being sent throughout the province, beginning with high-priority locations such as personal care homes and hospitals.
It is expected these vaccines will begin to be more widely available to members of the public in the next few weeks, though some sites may have stock earlier than others.
People can begin accessing the updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they are available.
An advertising campaign encouraging Manitobans to stay on track with their vaccinations will launch province-wide next week.
The updated Moderna vaccine is currently being distributed to vaccine sites, and Manitoba Health says more COVID-19 vaccines will continue to arrive over the coming weeks to ensure sufficient supply for all Manitobans who want to be immunized.
