WINNIPEG Manitoba reached a vaccination milestone on Saturday, with 100,000 doses administered, according to Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson. The milestone comes one year this month after the first Manitoban died from the virus and three months removed from the start of the vaccination campaign that began on December 16 of last year. The first vaccination clinic was for healthcare workers and took place at the University of Manitoba s Bannatyne campus. Health Science Centre physician Brian Penner got the first shot. I m very fortunate and it s a luck of the draw as to how I got here and it was not expected, said Penner at the time.
