The latest round of COVID-19 and seasonal flu vaccinations are in Manitoba and available at some locations.
The first shipments of updated boosters are currently being sent throughout the province, with priority being given to the elderly and vulnerable, provincial officials said in a news release Friday.
Some hospitals, personal-care homes and vaccination sites have already received their doses, and stock is expected to be more widely available to the public in the coming weeks, the province said.

People are advised to check the province’s online vaccine finder, which will be updated with new locations and clinic details as they are submitted to the province.
Officials are advising seniors, vulnerable people, pregnant women and children age six months to five years old to take both the new COVID and seasonal flu vaccine. It is safe and effective to receive more than one vaccine at a time, the province said.
An advertising campaign encouraging Manitobans to stay on track with their vaccinations will launch next week.
Rapid test kits continue to be available at no cost at many locations across the province.
