Manitobans don’t have to worry about getting a third jab any time soon, according to Dr. Joss Reimer, head of the vaccination task force.

Reimer says there’s no medical reason to give third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to people at this time.

However, she says that doesn’t mean things won’t change in the future.

“This is something we’re continuing to monitor and review, particularly as new information becomes available about any clinical reasons to provide people with a third dose.”

Her comments come after other provinces announced that they would be providing third doses of the vaccine to those who are immunocompromised or to those who want to travel internationally.

This includes Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.
