COVID-19, Premier Brian Pallister says.During a press conference Thursday Pallister said teachers and education workers are being added to the list of essential workers cleared to get their shots through a cross-border vaccination agreement set up between the province and its southern neighbour.
Manitoba and North Dakota look to vaccinate cross-border essential workers “Although there’s a surplus of demand here, there’s no surplus of vaccines, so having the ability to have the partnership with North Dakota is very valuable,” said Pallister.“We all understand that we have an education system that we have to protect.”Pallister said details of the program expansion “are being developed as we speak” and didn’t say Thursday when teachers can.
