Hi, I am going to the Keystone Center to get vaccinated next week. I will be taking the bus but am partially disabled so can’t walk around a lot. I will be getting off the bus on 18th street, can someone tell me where I go exactly to get the shot? Thanks

Brandon Keystone Centre Supersite Location: 1175 18th Street - located on the east side of the Keystone Centre building. - Enter off of 13th street. Use the outside Manitoba Room doors to access the vaccine site.

When I was there for my vaccine, there was a bus that dropped people off at the vaccination site door. You may want to look into that. Not sure who to contact but shouldn't be hard to find out.

You will need to go to other side of the building if you are getting of on 18 Street , it will be a long walk.  
On the east side of building at the bottom of the big ramp north end - Manitoba Room ,there is smaller walking ramp set up there to an outside door entrance (it’s closer to curling entrance area if you are familiar with the Keystone) You will see all the cars .  
 
Also Manitoba has assistance if you call 211 a navigator can assist you with a ride through United Way if you are a senior OR a person with mobility issues. Not sure what charge might be, you might want to check it out.

Thank you for the replies, they were very helpful and much appreciated.

When you get to the Manitoba room, the process is incredibly quick and painless (aside from the poke). Maybe 20 minutes in my case, with 15 of it just sitting in the presence of medical staff in case of an allergic reaction.  
Likely even less for you since there was a minor computer glitch in retrieving my appointment.

MB 211 & United Way Winnipeg have created a service offered only in Winnipeg, unfortunately United Way Brandon does not have the resources to provide a ride service at the present time.
