Appointments and Walk-ins 

From July 6 to 10, the RBC, Leila, Steinbach, Selkirk and Brandon super sites will be offering extended hours of immunization, from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. RBC will continue to be by appointment only, but all of the other sites will largely be taking walk-ins, with few or very limited booked appointments during these extended hours. 

Parents, caregivers or other adults who have a booked Pfizer appointment can continue to transfer their appointment to a 12- to 17-year-old youth, through the provincial call centre. 

Fifteen medical clinics and pharmacies are regional hubs for AstraZeneca vaccinations. Individuals can use the online vaccine finder at https://manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/finder.html to find a location with available doses. 
  
 A complete listing and searchable map of all vaccine sites, including urban Indigenous clinics and pop-up clinics, is available online at https://protectmb.ca/. Eligible individuals can book their appointments at these sites online, or by calling (toll-free) 1-844-626-8222 (1-844-MAN-VACC).
