The face of Manitoba's COVID-19 immunization efforts is taking on a new role.
Dr. Joss Reimer has spent the past 16 months as the medical lead of Manitoba's COVID-19 vaccination task force.
On Wednesday, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority announced she has accepted a job as its new chief medical officer.
It's unclear whether the province will be appointing someone new to Reimer's role with the vaccination task force.
A provincial spokesperson said the task force has not dissolved, but planning is underway to spread out the task force's responsibilities to a broader group of health care professionals.
