Manitoba has added more Winnipeg neighbourhoods to the list of COVID-19 hot spots in which all adults residents can get vaccinated. The areas added Tuesday, which are based on census neighbourhoods, include St. Vital North, River East South and Seven Oaks East. St. Vital North includes the northern part of St. Vital, between Bishop Grandin Boulevard, the Red River, the Seine River and Carriere Avenue, commonly referred to as Old St. Vital. Three more areas of Winnipeg, including the neighbourhoods of West Kildonan, Old St. Vital and Elmwood, have been given priority access to COVID-19 vaccines. (Brooke Schreiber/CBC)These will be the last communities designated for priority vaccine access, Dr. Joss Reimer, medical lead on the province's vaccine implementation task force, said during a technical briefing with reporters on Monday.
