The communities were first announced by the Manitoba government March 1.
“Communities were selected based on their readiness and ability to travel for the vaccine. Additional information about Manitoba’s immunization strategy for the north will be released in the coming days,” reads a provincial government statement on the program. According to Manitoba s vaccination guidelines, all members of the public over age 89 are currently eligible to book appointments for vaccine doses. 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, a
Residents of the Flin Flon Personal Care Home and Northern Lights Manot received their first doses of the Moderna vaccine last week. Additional information will be provided to those workers as soon as possible, reads a Jan. 25 vaccine update. As of Jan. 25, about 29,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given in Manitoba. Of those doses, just over 1,600 have been administered within the Northern Health Region (NHR). It does not appear that shortages of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine will affect the first shots in these northern communities. Second-dose appointments for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at super-sites in Winnipeg and Brandon are being postponed due to a shipping disruption of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines.
The vaccine was available to all consenting residents at the personal care homes. Over the past week, about 4,700 residents in Manitoba seniors facilities were eligible to receive vaccine doses, including 136 residents within the Northern Health Region at three separate facilities - in addition to the Flin Flon-area residences, 66 people at the St. Paul s Residence in The Pas were able to receive their doses. COVID-19 outbreaks had been announced at all three facilities earlier in the pandemic, with six cases in total - one in a staff member during an exposure last summer and five other people who tested positive after a second exposure months later - reported at the Northern Lights Manor. The manor was declared free of any outbreaks as of Jan. 6. Another outbreak at the Flin Flon Personal Care Home, reported after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, was declared over Dec. 16 after no other people, including staff members and residents, reported any positive cases.
