Winnipeg Free Press Waste? So far not, but plenty of want As vaccine rollout ramps up, end-of-day surplus will become more of an issue for clinic and pharmacy staff; province hasn't issued formal guidelines By: Katie May | Posted: 7:00 PM CDT Monday, Apr. 5, 2021 Winnipeg Free Press Four months in to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, a lack of supply is still Manitoba's main concern, but the province has yet to announce a plan to prevent unnecessary waste. Mass-immunization clinics don't use standby lists, which have been adopted in some other provinces to administer leftover vaccines at the last minute, and doctors' offices and pharmacies developed their own protocols to dole out all of their vaccines before they expired. Wastage wasn't a concern, representatives for physicians and pharmacists said, because of the limited number of doses clinics and pharmacies initially received last month.
