It s been a roller-coaster ride for many of us during Canada s first year of the coronavirus pandemic from the first lockdown to the arrival of vaccines.

Once the vaccine is thawed, it can be stored in a refrigerator for approximately five days. Once it has been diluted, it has about six hours before it must be injected into someone s arm before it is wasted, according to Dr. Jazz Atwal, Manitoba s acting deputy chief provincial public health officer.
