I was thinking about you today when they were announcing the fast tracking... Figured you'd be up soon. It honestly doesn't matter what vaccine you get. Just take what's offered and get er done.

They're testing a vaccine (I forget which) on 11-15 year olds right now and hope to be able to administer the vaccine this summer. Next wave, under 11, starts soon too, I believe.

Octogenarians in Manitoba can now book an appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. 

The provincial government has expanded eligibility criteria to include seniors who are 80 years old or older, and First Nations people age 60 or older. 

When calling to book an appointment, spouses and household members who are eligible can book appointments at the same time. 

The booking number is 1-844-626-8222. A full list of eligibility criteria can be accessed at www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/vaccine/eligibility-criteria.html
