50% of Country Has Received Their First Dose

Canada’s vaccination campaign hits a significant milestone.

Over 19-million people have received at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

This means more than 50 per cent of Canadians have been administered their first jab.

This comes five months after the first vaccine was given in Canada, to a long-term care resident in Quebec City.

The nation has gradually seen the vaccine campaign ramping up over the past few months, this week alone seeing 4.5-million doses delivered from Pfizer and Moderna.

A total of 23,780,004 doses have arrived in the country since the beginning of the pandemic.

Just under 87 per cent of these have been administered.
