Vaccines
Rabies
The Manitoba rabies program is in place to provide rabies vaccines, rabies boosters, and titre checks to all those that are at risk for rabies. Whether your exposure to rabies comes from working at a veterinary hospital, volunteering with an animal rescue, or owning livestock.
Influenza
An influenza vaccine is recommended to anyone over 6 months of age and is the most efficient way to prevent influenza in your community. We provide pop-up flu clinics that can adjust to any setting and specialize in servicing large groups of people in a short time span.
COVID
A COVID-19 vaccine has become a routine vaccine for all Manitobans and has proven to be effective in reducing spread and symptoms. We have been providing on-site clinic services to assisted living facilities, offices, and production facilities throughout Manitoba since 2020.
Tetanus
Tetanus vaccines are an important part of occupational health and safety in the animal care industry. Offering tetanus vaccines at work is a great way to ensure immunity in a high-risk environment.
