WINNIPEG Manitoba is slowly closing in on the 80 per cent mark of eligible residents receiving their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 70 per cent for dose two. As of Monday, 78.7 per cent have dose one, while 66.5 per cent have double dipped. Health officials in the province continue to encourage people to get vaccinated so Manitoba can open up further, but residents are being reminded that some side effects can happen from the vaccine and if people have concerns they should consult their health-care providers. Kristen Bourassa is one of those people who dealt with side effects after receiving her second dose on July 16.
