The allotments for Peguis and Fisher River were being driven out and the other two were shipped by plane — the shipments were scheduled to depart yesterday.
First Nations in Manitoba will receive 5,300 doses of the Moderna vaccine for immediate vaccination, according to a statement from Southern Chiefs’ Organization Grand Chief Jerry Daniels late Wednesday evening. Also as of yesterday, the Province of Manitoba committed an additional allocation of 5,300 doses that will roll out the week of Feb. 23.
