(Screenshot: Manitoba Government/YouTube) Article continues below advertisement ↴ The last thing Joss Reimer wanted to be growing up in rural southern Manitoba was a physician, but today she leads the province as the doctor in charge of vaccinations. Reimer grew up just over an hour south of Winnipeg, in Winkler, Man. The community holds the status of a city now, but at the time she says it was very much a small town. (It was) just a wonderful way to grow up, Reimer says. The freedom that you have as a child in a smaller place is really not comparable to the city. When I was growing up, right across the street it was just open wheat fields and so to be able to have the ability to just run around and play with your friends where you know you re safe and have that opportunity to experience the blend of nature and a town at the same time was wonderful and then this small community where people know each other.

Manitoba man dresses as Fred Flintstone to get vaccine, hoping humour will combat vaccine hesitancy

  WINNIPEG Manitobans, Canadians and people around the world have been documenting their experiences getting the COVID-19 vaccine, but one Manitoba man has had a yabba dabba doo time with his shot. Todd Scott decided to get his vaccine dressed up as Fred Flintstone. He said he needed to find a costume that didn t have sleeves to make it easy to receive the vaccine. I was just thinking, You know what, I am going to get my vaccine. I am going to have fun with this, said Scott. Fred Flintstone also works really well with my post-pandemic body. It s a little more forgiving. The only thing I hate about this costume is the lack of pockets.

Coronavirus: Manitoba to open second-dose vaccine booking for Indigenous residents

  WINNIPEG The Manitoba government will be opening appointments for the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible Indigenous residents starting on May 24. Dr. Marcia Anderson, public health lead for the First Nations Pandemic Response Coordination Team, and Dr. Joss Reimer, medical lead for Manitoba’s Vaccine Implementation Task Force, made the announcement on Friday. The province said to book appointments, Indigenous Manitobans must have received a Pfizer vaccine 21 days before their second-dose appointment or the Moderna vaccine 28 days before their second-dose appointment. “Throughout the second and third waves of this pandemic we have consistently seen that First Nations people make up 40 to 60 per cent of all COVID admissions to the ICU,” Anderson said.
