Dr. Joss Reimer, the medical lead for the Vaccine Implementation Task Force, said Manitoba will be delaying the administration of the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
WINNIPEG Although Manitoba is still waiting for information on how much supply of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine it will receive, the members of the vaccination task force are making plans for how to administer the vaccine, and who will receive it. During a briefing Wednesday morning, Dr. Joss Reimer, the medical lead of the Vaccine Implementation Task Force, said the first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine could go to people between the ages of 50 and 65 years old. “Within that group, we are trying to identify who is the highest-risk, so we’re finalizing the details of who that group would be now, and trying to take advantage of every data that we have available, and get as much clinical input as we can,” Reimer said.
