Manitoba’s auditor general says the province’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been effective but there is room for improvement.
In a 55-page report, Tyson Shtykalo says the government followed national guidelines in prioritizing groups for vaccination.
The report also says the province achieved broad vaccine availability by using a number of distribution channels, including large-scale supersites and smaller outlets such as pharmacies.
Shtykalo says one area that should change is the requirement for people to fill out paper consent forms before getting their shots.
He says an electronic form would make things faster and more secure.
The report also says the province should maintain a central stockpile of emergency supplies such as masks, gowns and syringes.
