Canada is now up to 11.2 million shots given -- which is 81.4% of the total 13.7M doses available. Over the past 7 days, 1,056,812 doses have been delivered to provinces.
And so far 975k are fully vaccinated with two shots.
Canada's pace of vaccination:
Today's 360,486 shots given compares to an average of 279,047/day over the past week and 278,964/day the week prior.
- Pace req'd for 2 doses to 75% of Canadians by Sept 30: 284,804
- At current avg pace, we reach 75% by Oct 2021
Based on just the share of people with 1 or more doses (a weaker threshold), at Canada's current pace we reach 50% by May, and 75% by June 2021.
(Note: this includes all people, adults and children.)
Turning to individual provinces, here's how each province's vaccination rate compared to the national average. Blue is above-average. Red is below. Dotted line is Canadian average rate.
And here's total shots given and share of delivered doses used.
- Most shots given: YT at 111 doses per 100 people
- Fewest: NS at 25
- Highest share of delivered doses used: SK with 87%
- Lowest: NU with 64%
A more detailed look at provs/terrs:
- Highest overall: YT at 60% receiving at least one shot
- Most 1st doses only: QC at 29% receiving that shot
- Most Fully Vaccinated: YT at 50%
- Fewest Vaccinated: NS at 22%
Looking forward, here's time to reach 75% of *adults* w/ 1+ doses based on the latest 7-day average daily pace.
- SK fastest at 44 days.
- PE slowest at 67 days.
Every province is on pace for the June goal!
How does Canada compare to others? Currently, Canada ranks 6th out of 37 OECD countries in terms of the share of the population that is at least partially vaccinated. In terms of total doses per 100, Canada is 7th.

Canada/US comparison:
- Highest Prov: QC, 29.7% of pop w/ at least one dose
- Lowest Prov: NS, 21.8
- Highest State: NH, 58.9
- Lowest State: MS, 30.0
- Top CDN Terr: YT, 60.4
- Top US Terr: PW, 54.4

At Canada's latest 7-day avg daily pace, the share of people w/ 1 or more doses rises by 0.69% per day. The US rises by 0.43% per day.
- Projected out, we reach 75% 10 days before the US.
- We match the US share in 54 days.
- Reaching the current US share takes 20 days.
But, by popular demand, here's a comparison of the share of people *fully* vaccinated. In Canada, this rises by 0.05% per day. The US rises by 0.46% per day.
Projecting forward from here isn't very informative. So interpret this cautiously.
