A new poll indicates most Canadians are ready for a COVID-19 booster when their name gets called.
The poll comes after Manitoba expanded eligibility for third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine earlier this week.
The survey, done by Nanos Research and commissioned by CTV News, found 69 per cent of respondents are interested in a booster shot and 15 per cent are somewhat interested.
The regional breakdown shows interest in the prairies was lower at 65 per cent.
"It's still a majority of individuals in the prairies but below the national average," said Nik Nanos of Nanos Research.
Nationally, the recommendation for third doses is for long-term care residents and those with compromised immune systems.
This week in Manitoba the provincial vaccine task force added healthcare workers and those who only got a viral vector vaccine.
