The lead of Manitoba’s vaccine rollout took questions and addressed concerns from newcomers to the province Thursday afternoon. We have seen some patterns emerging where, both in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba, there are some areas that have lower uptake, Dr. Joss Reimer said. And this is a blend of things. We think in southern Manitoba, a lot of it has to do with vaccine hesitancy, beliefs and community views on vaccines, but in Winnipeg, we think it has a lot more to do with barriers to seeking care.

Fatuma Omar showed up for an appointment at Welcome Place in downtown Winnipeg on Wednesday morning only to find its employees locked out. They didn t tell me, said the 27-year-old Somali woman, who scheduled a day off work to access refugee settlement services at the Bannatyne Avenue building.
After exiting the facility, Omar said people inside were willing to help but didn t speak her language. They told her she could also go to the Immigrant Centre a few blocks away, another non-profit offering services to newcomers.
