Manitobans set one-day record for vaccination appointments on Friday Back to video
There were a record 41,754 appointments booked on Friday. The previous record was 26,000 on May 13.
To make the visit as easy as possible, young people aged 12 to 15 can either attend the appointment with a parent, guardian or caregiver, or bring a signed consent form at the time of their appointment. If the youth attends without a guardian and without a signed consent form, they will go through an informed consent process with a clinical lead to assess their ability to consent on their own and proceed with the vaccine.
