The minimum age, as of March 3, is lower for First Nation people. First Nations people ages 69 and older are currently eligible for doses. While some people living in Flin Flon, The Pas, Thompson and on several northern Manitoba First Nations have received at least a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, others in smaller communities have not had an opportunity for their doses yet. In Flin Flon, vaccinations have taken place for residents of the Flin Flon Personal Care Home and Northern Lights Manor, along with several frontline health workers.
