New public health orders came into effect today that see further restrictions for Manitobans who are not fully vaccinated. Vaccination is the single-best, long-term solution to prevent further lockdowns and help keep our health care system available for everyone who needs it. 1/5
Anyone who is waiting for the proof of vaccination requirement to end, please consider the consequences of waiting. #COVID19 is not going away. 2/5
You are more likely to get severely sick from COVID if you are not vaccinated, than if you are vaccinated. 3/5

An old question that I’m still hearing is if it’s true that the vaccines can't affect your DNA. This is entirely true – mRNA vaccines cannot alter your DNA. (1/8)
The best way to think of mRNA is as instructions for our body. Our body produces mRNA all the time - this is how our body provides instructions to cells on how to produce many different proteins normally. (2/8)
In this case, rather than our body making mRNA, the vaccine provides it, but it gets read and managed the same way as always. (3/8)

Manitoba has very recently been advised that Pfizer shipments will slow down into early July. Very few Pfizer appointments are expected to be available in the weeks ahead. (1/5)
The good news is that there are thousands of first and second-dose Moderna appointments available next week and in the future. bit.ly/34LsUfg (2/5)
If you're 18+, don't wait for Pfizer for your 2nd shot when you're eligible - book a Moderna appointment. Pfizer and Moderna are both safe, effective and interchangeable. (3/5)

Happy to provide an update for those wondering about AstraZeneca: If you got a first shot of AZ, your second dose will be an mRNA vaccine – either Pfizer or Moderna. (1/7)
This decision is being made now that our supply of mRNA is strong and after results from a Spanish study showed people who had a second dose of an mRNA vaccine, after AstraZeneca, had a good immune response. (2/7)
We can make this change, knowing that switching products will still offer a good effectiveness against #Covid19MB while also reducing any rare risks of side effects from AZ. (3/7)
