COVID-19 Vaccine Bulletin #125

Eligibility

Third dose eligibility includes: 

• all residents and staff of First Nation personal care homes; 
• people who are immunocompromised; 
• people who require a third dose for travel; or 
• individuals who previously received doses of vaccines that are not approved by Health Canada.

In October, third doses of vaccine will also be offered to personal care home residents throughout the province. For more information about third doses, visit https://manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/eligibility-criteria.html#third.  

Eligibility for first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine continues to include anyone born on or before Dec. 31, 2009. 

Manitoba has identified criteria for the very small number of people who cannot or should not be immunized and may be eligible for a medical exemption. More information is available at https://manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/eligibility-criteria.html#exemptions.
