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 province said when it found the box was unaccounted for, it notified police.
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.
