Manitobans who have been inoculated against COVID-19 can now download and print that information online.

“We know many Manitobans have asked for their COVID-19 vaccination information from our public health offices,” she said in a press release.

To find this information, Manitobans need to have a valid Manitoba Health card and an email address. They can go to this website to find the results about 48 hours after they have been vaccinated, although it may take up to seven days to appear.

People who do not have internet access or a health card number can call their public health office for their information.
