Manitoba has extended eligibility for third doses (booster shot) of COVID-19 vaccines to everyone in the province 18 and up,
Dr. Joss Reimer, lead of the vaccine implementation task force in Manitoba, said a minimum of six months is required between second and third doses, except in very limited circumstances. In such cases, prescriptions would be required from a doctor.
While third doses are being recommended, the government’s focus is still on getting more Manitobans get their first and second doses of the vaccine.
Third doses are available at any location that offers the COVID-19 vaccine. Several pop-up clinics are located in several areas of the province where walk-ins are welcome.
