Manitoba pharmacists get the lowest amount of compensation in the country for administering the flu shot. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brent Roussin has consistently told Manitobans to get the flu shot this year, a point echoed by Premier Brian Pallister. It has never been more important for Manitobans to get the flu shot," Pallister said in October. According to Manitoba Health, about 60 per cent of pharmacies this year are giving the flu shot this year. "We continue to engage with Pharmacists Manitoba on a range of issues related to the pandemic, and more broadly related to maximizing the services that pharmacists can provide in our communities."
