WINNIPEG CTV News Winnipeg has learned that five people in Manitoba have shown symptoms of Bell’s palsy since getting their COVID-19 vaccines, however, health professionals are saying that people need to be cautious before drawing any conclusions. Bell’s palsy is a condition that causes muscular weakness or paralysis in the face. Generally, the condition is temporary. According to Dr. Joss Reimer, medical lead of Manitoba’s Vaccine Implementation Task Force, this is something that medical professionals look out for with all vaccines. At a news conference on Wednesday, she said Bell’s palsy is something that is potentially linked to vaccines, though the results of the pathophysiology or the physical path that causes this outcome has never been clearly outlined.
WINNIPEG The Vaccine Implementation Task Force has announced frontline police and firefighters in Manitoba will be able to start booking vaccine appointments. Dr. Joss Reimer, the medical lead of the task force, announced in a vaccine technical briefing Wednesday morning that these frontline responders can start booking as early as Wednesday at 11:45 a.m. We re looking at numbers around 2,400 frontline police officers and 4,700 frontline firefighters, said Reimer. When it comes to geography eligibility, Reimer said the decisions are being based on case rates, population density, and the percentage of racialized and lower-income populations as well as suitable housing in those areas.
WINNIPEG Manitobans 40 and older are now eligible for the AstraZeneca vaccine. Health Minister Heather Stefanson made the announcement in a news release on Monday, saying the eligibility expansion is effective immediately at medical clinics and pharmacies. “Tens of thousands of doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine remain in clinics and pharmacies across the province, which is why we re expanding the eligibility criteria for the vaccine,” Stefanson said. “I want to thank physician and pharmacy partners for their work to provide vaccine and look forward to the numbers of doses administered increasing quickly over the coming days.” This news comes after the province halted AstraZeneca vaccinations for those under the age of 55 last month, due to concerns over rare but dangerous blood clots.
