Canada's pace of vaccination:
Today's 183,279 doses today compares to an average of 179,165/day over the past week and 171,525/day the week prior.
- Pace req'd for 2 doses to 75% of Canadians by Sept 30, 2021: 283,464
- At current avg pace, we reach 75% by Jan 2022
But based on just the share of people with 1 or more doses (a weaker threshold), at Canada's current pace we reach 25% by April, 50% by June, and 75% by August 2021.
For context, at Canada's current pace of vaccination the share of people with 1 or more doses increases by 0.45% per day. The U.S. increases this share by 0.54% per day. For Canada to reach the current U.S. share would take 37 days.
Turning to individual provinces, here's doses administered over time and the latest share of deliveries used. SK leading with 77.7% of delivered doses administered while NL has administered 54.1%.
How does Canada compare to others? Currently, Canada ranks 8 out of 37 OECD countries in terms of the share of the population that is at least partially vaccinated. This is a large improvement in recent weeks.
