WINNIPEG Before the pandemic Mike Jaycocks and a group of friends would plan a trip to a sunny destination outside of Canada every year. Now, as international borders begin to reopen, Jaycocks is looking into a post-pandemic trip, only to discover he may not be recognized as “fully vaccinated,” even after receiving two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. “Everybody advocated for AstraZeneca, so I thought, ‘okay, I want to do my part,’” said Jaycocks, who received a first dose of the viral vector AstraZeneca vaccine and the Pfizer mRNA vaccine as his second dose. “But now it’s kind of rebounding and I’m kind of getting handcuffed by it,” he said.

WINNIPEG Parents who want their children to be fully vaccinated in time for the return to the classroom will need to book a first-dose appointment by early next week. On Wednesday, Dr. Joss Reimer, the medical lead for Manitoba s Vaccine Implementation Task Force, said students need to get their first dose by Tuesday, July 27, if they want to be fully vaccinated before the school year begins. She said this allows the minimum 28 days required between the first and second dose, and the two weeks needed after the second dose. While we re in the midst of summer now, it is never too early to plan for back to school for your child to be fully vaccinated for back to school, Reimer said.
