Eligibility

Third-dose eligibility is expanding today to include all residents and staff of First Nation personal care homes. This will further expand in October to provide third doses to residents of all personal care homes throughout the province.

This builds on last week’s initial eligibility criteria for third doses, which included people who are immunocompromised, require a third dose for travel or who previously received doses of vaccines that are not approved by Health Canada. For more information about third doses, visit manitoba.ca.

Eligibility for first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine continues to include anyone born on or before Dec. 31, 2009.

Manitoba has identified criteria for the very small number of people who cannot or should not be immunized and may be eligible for a medical exemption. A process to submit requests for medical exemptions will be put in place in the coming weeks. More information is available at manitoba.ca.
