A medical officer of health with the Northern Health Region says the COVID-19 campaign vaccine has been going well in the north.

Doctor Michael Isaac explains the region as a whole is seeing the test positivity rates going down as the month progresses, though it varies from community to community.

Isaac says the NRHA is slightly ahead of the rest of the province when it comes to uptake of two doses of vaccine.

He states having both doses of the vaccine is imperative considering the prevalence of Delta variant cases, which has appeared in all Manitoba health regions.
