Manitoba is rolling out a vaccination campaign for those at the highest risk of developing serious outcomes from COVID-19, aiming to get people vaccinated before summer, when virus circulation might increase, the province says.

Between May 1 and June 30, the province will make additional COVID-19 vaccine doses available for people who have already had a dose since last fall, but meet specific criteria.

The extra doses will be available to anyone age 65 or older, Indigenous people over the age of 45, residents of long-term care homes, and anyone age six months or up who is moderately or severely immunocompromised.

The person getting the vaccine should have received their last dose at least three months before, the province said in a Wednesday news release.

COVID-19 vaccines for children between the ages of six months and 12 years will only be available until June 14, when the supply will expire, the province said.

People who did not get a COVID-19 vaccine in the fall can also get a dose before June 30.

The vaccines are available free of charge at medical clinics, pharmacies, nursing stations and rural public health offices. The province’s website has a map where you can search for vaccine providers.
