The province says close to 60,000 COVID-19 vaccine appointments are being altered due to shipping delays.
Officials say a delivery of 28,300 Moderna doses slated to go into arms this week is delayed, resulting in thousands of Manitobans requiring appointment changes. They were set to arrive on March 22 but arrived five days later. The province will be reaching out to affected people by phone, email and text to advise them of this change. Individuals may choose to book an appointment at a super site or wait for another pop-up to be rescheduled. These pop-up clinics will be rescheduled based on vaccine deliveries, the province says in a statement.
