That’s good news, as the number of Manitobans with kidney disease is growing in the province, according to a release from Prairie Mountain Health.
The scholarships will be for youth aged 12 to 17 across the province. Anyone 12 and up who receives their first dose of COVID vaccine on or before Aug. 2 will be entered in the first draw. The second draw will be for everyone 12 and over who has received two doses by Sept. 6. “Vaccination is the fastest way to overcome COVID-19 and safely restore our services and activities,” said Premier Brian Pallister in a news release. “Urgency is important. We need Manitobans to get vaccinated to protect each other and protect our health-care system. The sooner we get vaccinated, the sooner we can get our lives back. This lottery gives Manitobans even more reasons to roll up their sleeves – not once, but twice.”
