Covid Vaccines in Canada

With the benefit of hindsight, I’d say that this opinion from March 28 was not that accurate. While we’re not the best, we’re currently at the top of the pack when it comes to population with one dose (beaten out by a handful of small countries like Nauru, St. Helena, Pitcairn and Gibralter), and we are also at the top of the pack when it comes to the 7 day average number of new doses given/100. (Again, only beaten out by small countries). So we are giving 2nd doses faster than any other country.

This is reflected in the drop country-wide in our Covid numbers being reported.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

Exactly and @Leaper just posted an article on a study showing that even one dose of the most common vaccines are highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death by the delta variant in Canada. That’s great news.

Early, but growing evidence vaccines less effective against Delta
