WINNIPEG --
The first resident of a personal care home in Manitoba has received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Margaret Watson, a resident of the Extendicare Oakview Place in Winnipeg, received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine Monday morning.
Watson, 94, said she is hopeful the vaccine will lead to some changes for her and other residents, noting she has largely been confined to her room during the pandemic.
“I’ll be so glad when it’s over,” she said.
Watson said she is looking forward to “getting out” and visiting her family as soon as she is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
