At a news conference on Wednesday, Dr. Joss Reimer, medical lead for Manitoba’s Vaccine Implementation Task Force, said it takes time for the vaccine to produce an immune response.
“The immune response to the body producing those antibodies that can recognize and fight the virus takes about two weeks to build up after the dose of a vaccine,” she said.
“Any infection that occurs during the first two weeks after you receive a dose of the vaccine was either contracted before the dose was given or before the body had that time to mount an immune response.”
Reimer noted the vaccines are “very effective” at reducing the rates of infection and slowing transmission, especially after those 14 days, but “nothing is 100 per cent effective.”
