Manitoba has the second-highest daily #COVID19 infection rate among all 60 states and provinces.
Alberta is No. 1, but Alberta's third wave has also crested.

Manitoba has yet to crest.
1. Alberta
2. Manitoba
3. Michigan
4. Colorado
5. Ontario and Minnesota
Daily reminder that while the next few weeks are going to be tough in Manitoba, the combination of restrictions and vaccinations means the virus has less room to spread every day.
And a perennial reminder to be careful in general. Drive safe. Ride safe. Consume safe.

Now is not the time to tax the health-care system.

Cases will drop well before the hospital crunch is over.

Reimer reiterates all AZ doses in Manitoba *and on the way* will be reserved for second doses for AZ recipients, with exceptions for people who can't get another vaccine.
Reimer apologizes for the way Manitoba requested gender on its immunization consent form.
Reimer on second-dose appointments:

First people who can book will be people with serious medical conditions, including people on dialysis, with Down's syndrome, getting an organ transplant, getting chemo and living with HIV.

Vaccine task force logistics lead Johanu Botha is holding the weekly vaccine briefing.

Target for one dose to everyone aged 12 and up to get one dose is now June 9.
This is ahead by nearly a week.

Main reason is a little more Pfizer is coming: 87,800 doses per week by the end of this month, up from 73,700 doses a week right now.
To clarify: Everyone aged 12 and up who wants a dose, meaning the 70 per cent uptake target.
