NFLD reported 4 new cases today, all in the province's Eastern zone.
1 is related to travel and the other 3 are close contacts of the case reported yesterday (still under investigation). Public health describes this as 'worrisome'.
I've got a few minutes while dinner is still cooking before I start work again.
Let's talk about vaccine distribution.
I post some version of this graph every day. Solid line is doses distributed to the province, dashed are doses administered. Shade is the difference. Easy.
Here's Ontario for comparison.
From this one graph, you can get a quick sense of how much a province *can* vaccinate and how quickly it *is* vaccinating given that constraint.
But there's bunch of information trapped in that shaded area. (Argh! Trapped data!)
The two SARS-CoV-2 vaccines currently in circulation are Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna.
They are both 2-dose mRNA vaccines. You get one dose and then the 2nd a set number of weeks later. After ~10 days you're at 95% lower risk of developing symptoms (hurray!).
