Canada hits COVID-19 vaccine milestone

Canada hits COVID-19 vaccine milestone as 75% receive one dose, 20% fully vaccinated

Over 75 percent of eligible Canadians over 12 years old have now received at least one jab of an approved COVID-19 vaccine while more than 20 percent have been fully vaccinated.

federal health officials said if Canada reaches 75 percent single-dose coverage and 20 percent full or second-dose coverage — including those 12 years old and above — provinces could safely begin easing restrictions on public movement without overwhelming hospitals and ICUs again

Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, had said back then that if vaccinations go according to plan and if 75 percent of Canadians are fully vaccinated, people could “look forward to moving indoors together.”
