Statement from Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson on Receiving a COVID-19 Vaccine



Tonight, I am pleased to join over 300,000 other Manitobans who have received a COVID-19 vaccine. I booked appointments for my husband and I at Shoppers Drug Mart in Tuxedo Park Shopping Centre and received the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The best choice for your vaccine is the first one that is available. I encourage all Manitobans to be immunized as soon as you are eligible to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community.

I want to thank our pharmacy and physician partners for their commitment to Manitoba’s vaccination effort and commend the Vaccine Implementation Task Force for its determined efforts in this historic endeavour.

More information about the vaccine campaign in Manitoba is available at www.manitoba.ca/vaccine and https://protectmb.ca.
