WINNIPEG—The Manitoba government says its booking service that’s making appointments for eligible health-care workers to get COVID-19 vaccinations has received more than 100,000 phone calls since opening Saturday,

But there are only 900 spots available to receive the first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine this week, and the province says that about half of them were already filled by Sunday morning.
