“We can control following the public health orders,” said Pallister. “We can control getting the first vaccine.” Most patients in intensive care and in hospital due to the virus and most of the new cases Manitoba is seeing are among people who haven’t received their first dose of vaccine, the premier said. Some people who have had first doses can begin booking appointments for their second doses beginning May 21 and eligibility for the Pfizer vaccine was recently expanded to include youth aged 12 to 17. A vaccine incentive program will be launched next week, Pallister said. “We need to incentivize the right kinds of behaviours. We have to make people feel more comfortable and confident that [getting vaccinated] is the right thing for them to do.”
