MMF delivering COVID-19 vaccines after receiving unexpected shipment

WINNIPEG The Manitoba Metis Federation is helping to get COVID-19 vaccines to Metis Elders and vulnerable citizens after receiving an unexpected shipment of AstraZeneca doses. According to Frances Chartrand, the minister of health for the Metis Government of Manitoba, the MMF received confirmation that Shared Health gave MEDOCare Pharmacy 100 AstraZeneca vaccines for the federation. These vaccines have an expiration date of May 31, 2021. “It just came out of the blue,” Chartrand said. The MMF began to plan who will get these vaccines, with priority going to Winnipeg residents who are part of the Prescription Drug Program. The federation then compiled a list of citizens who want to receive the vaccine doses, and notified them that they would be contacted to schedule an appointment.
