A prominent former Manitoba MLA delivered a message Thursday for anyone who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination, but has yet to get one.

Please get this vaccine as soon as possible, said the former NDP MLA for Point Douglas, who is now a community development adviser with True North Sports and Entertainment. It s so, so important.
