Did they run out? Husband has appointment for Friday.

still taking appointments for keystone supersite so I would assume they still have vaccines

Both my husband & myself have appointments for Friday and we haven't heard anything is cancelled yet

What prompted you to ask? Hubby has appointment for Thursday and we have not heard anything. In looking at the MB website it says as of yesterday they have 6 days worth without getting new supplies.

All adults 18+ who live in or work at a high-risk job in "Downtown Brandon" (defined as border by Pacific, 1st St, Richmond Ave & 18th Street) are now eligible to book for the supersite. This is for the Pfizer/Moderna vaccine.  
 
Check details at https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/vaccine/eligibility-criteria.html

Do not try to book until after noon 12:00pm that’s when you become eligible.

Keeping an inventory of vaccines is one thing the province is really good at. Right now the province has about 80,000 vaccines in inventory, so if they are running out at a supersite then there would have to be severe mismanagement and bad planning.  
 
I think you're good. They do about 7,000 doses a day or 50,000 a week, province-wide. More vaccine shipments are expected. The Supersites have almost 35,000 doses in inventory as of today.  
 
Next week we will have over 70,000 doses delivered, then then we have 100,000 coming in the week after that. After that at least 87,000 Moderna doses come in per week.  
 
Supply should not be an issue going forward.

If you work in the “danger zone” but don’t live there, you have to be employed in an eligible business.  
 
-they live in the specific community,  
-they work at one of the following in those communities:  
k-12 schools,  
child care providers,  
food processing facilities,  
grocery or convenience store,  
gas station,  
public health inspector or workplace safety and health officer, or  
anywhere that serves food (e.g. restaurants or food banks).

Husband got email notification 2 days and 3 hours before his shot. I got no notifications and family in Winnipeg did not get any notifications by email either.  
 
Paper work filled out ahead of time and you have your medical card definitely makes things faster.  
 
Appointment was for 5:10 was in line 5 minutes before 5 got needle and paper marked could leave at 5:15.
