The disappearance of a box of COVID-19 vaccine from the RBC Convention Centre supersite is being investigated by Winnipeg police as a possible theft.

The typical box size includes 450 doses, but it’s unclear if the missing box was full or not. Both types of vaccine available at the RBC site — Pfizer and Moderna — can last up to a month in the fridge.
