Botha said to reach that goal, another 12,000 people have to get their first doses and 60,000 more need to get their second doses. Provincial projections suggest Manitoba demand for vaccines will continue to grow this month, primarily for second doses. The earliest anyone would be eligible for their second dose, if they got their first on July 27, would be Aug. 23. It takes at least two weeks for the body to build maximum immunity after a second dose. Fully vaccinated Manitobans can also attend the Winnipeg Blue Bombers home opener, scheduled for Aug. 5.
