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)
For those of you who received a first dose of AZ, I know that the wait and “not knowing” of what would happen with your 2nd dose was stressful. (4/7)
But know that choosing to get the AstraZeneca vaccine was, and still is, the right decision. You were able to protect yourself and your loved ones from #COVID19 as soon as you could. You prevented infections, you prevented hospitalizations and you prevented deaths. (5/7)
Now, with second dose mRNA vaccines available to you, you can boost that protection. You’ll follow provincial eligibility criteria for second doses, and can book at any location that offers Pfizer or Moderna. (6/7)
Thank you for doing your part, getting vaccinated, and helping to #ProtectMB. For more info about current eligibility, visit bit.ly/2Twpr1J and book your second dose as soon as you are eligible. (7/7)
