Upcoming school year vaccination rates for younger and middle year students will remain the same as previous years, but the province does not yet have a plan for them and other classrooms.
The majority of young people across Manitoba have not or can not be vaccinated against COVID-19. The only students eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine so far in Manitoba are those aged 12 and older. Students from pre-school to approximately Grade 6 are not protected from the virus with a vaccine, meaning their risk inside a classroom with each other will remain similar to the previous year. The school year will differ as parents and teens can be vaccinated and the Delta variant proving to be significantly more contagious than previous strands but how much so remains unspoken.
