The Manitoba immunization app has been updated to include the Pan-Canadian proof of vaccination credential (PVC). Fully vaccinated people in Manitoba can now apply to receive the new Pan-Canadian proof of vaccination credential (PVC). Some individuals may notice that the lot number of one or more vaccine doses may not be displayed on the PVC. If you plan to use the PVC for travel, it may be important for this information to be shown. Use the online form at: https://forms.gov.mb.ca/covid-immunization-record-request/index.html or call 1-844-MAN-VACC (1-844-626-8222) to request to have your lot number updated. For more information about the PVC, visit: https://manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/immunizationrecord/residents.html#pvc. AstraZeneca The province is anticipating a delivery of AstraZeneca by mid-November. Currently, there are no AstraZeneca doses in the province, but ample supply of both Pfizer and Moderna.
