The Manitoba government is offering free hepatitis A vaccines to Peguis First Nation amid an ongoing outbreak in the province.
On Monday, the province announced that vaccine eligibility now includes Peguis First Nation community members, anyone traveling to or working in the community and those who have household visitors from Peguis. The age of eligibility includes those six months and older.
Manitoba notes the hepatitis A vaccine is very effective in preventing infection, adding that it can be accessed through primary care providers, local public health offices, nursing stations and health centres.
