Going to get a #COVID19Vaccine after having #Covid19MB? Good idea, but wait until you are feeling better. There is no need to rush, but please don’t wait too long either. Learn more ⬇️ (1/10)
With more and more #COVID19 infections showing up across Manitoba due to Omicron, people are asking when they should get vaccinated after having a COVID infection. (2/10)
First and foremost, please don’t come to a vaccine clinic if you are still sick. It’s critical that you first complete all isolation requirements, that your symptoms have resolved and that you are no longer infectious. (3/10)

Variation over time shows the jump in hospitalizations among unvaccinated people in week ending Dec 4.

I've adjusted the dotted-rate lines to match the long-term averages on the first tweet. Hoping to communicate how things are changing relative to the average. Image
Numbers on the age group case chart have enough data to be more stable now.

Overall shape is holding, and impact in ages 30-59 remains lowest. All ages still hold a relative rate >4x (>75% eff.) in this period. Image

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

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)
