Today's COVID vaccine update:
- Shots reported today: 352,718
- Total shots: 24,522,064
- Age 12+ w/ a Shot: 67.0%
- Age 18+ w/ a Shot: 70.7% (est)
- Shots per 100 people: 64.5
- Inventory: 9.8 days

Detailed data on vaccination rates by age comes with a long lag. I construct my own estimates. Here's the latest:
- Those 60+: 88.8% have at least one dose and 11.7% have two
- 18-59: it's 62.7% and 5.9%
- Adults: 70.7% and 7.7%
In total, Canada is now up to 24.5 million shots given -- which is 87.1% of the total 28.1 million doses available. Over the past 7 days, 2,532,462 doses have been delivered to provinces.
And so far 2.3 million are fully vaccinated with two shots.
Canada's pace of vaccination:
Today's 352,718 shots given compares to an average of 369,003/day over the past week and 356,350/day the week prior.
- Pace req'd for 2 doses to 75% of Canadians by Sept 30: 270,750
- At current avg pace, we reach 75% by Aug 29
Based on the share of people with 1 or more doses (a weaker threshold), at Canada's current pace we reach 75% by June 23. We reach enough for 75% of those age 12+ by June 11.
Gray lines are past projections.
What about two doses? Here's when we'll have enough doses to reach different points:
- 75% of age 12+ w/ 1+ dose and 20% w/ 2: June 21
- 75% of 12+ w/ 2 doses: August 9
Dose projections are informative, but effective protection is lower than the share with a shot. One dose is less effective than two, plus effects lag and are uncertain. Roughly, current "coverage" is ~19-38%

Turning to individual provinces, here's total shots given and share of delivered doses used.
- Most shots given: YT at 127 doses per 100 people
- Fewest: PE at 58
- Highest share of delivered doses used: MB with 92%
- Lowest: NU with 63%
A more detailed look at provs/terrs:
- Highest overall: YT at 67% receiving at least one shot
- Most 1st doses only: BC at 57% receiving that shot
- Most Fully Vaccinated: YT at 60%
- Fewest Vaccinated: NU at 44%
Looking forward, here's time to reach 75% of people age 12+ w/ 1+ doses based on the latest 7-day average daily pace.
- QC fastest at 5 days.
- PEI slowest at 21 days.
How does Canada compare to others? Currently, Canada ranks 2nd 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.

Going forward, here's a cdn/usa comparison of total doses per 100 people.
- In Canada, this rises by 0.97 per day. The US rises by 0.39 per day.
- Projected out, we match the US in 43 days
- Reaching the current US rate takes 26 days.
Of course, there's lots of ways to compare. Here's a selection across several metrics/groups of how Canada ranks globally. Pick your preferred measure!
