How is NL doing on the vaccine roll out? Let's take a look at the numbers.
When it comes to doses received per capita, we're on par with most provinces, at about 5,000/100k people
But more of our vaccine is sitting in freezers than most 1/ #covid19nfld
When it comes to doses received per capita, we're on par with most provinces, at about 5,000/100k people
But more of our vaccine is sitting in freezers than most 1/ #covid19nfld
Of the 24,000 doses received in NL, 16,500 have been administered, that's 67% of doses used. The only province worse is NS (58%). Saskatchewan has administered 104% of their doses (because they've extracted extra using special syringes) #covid19nfld
NL has been holding back second doses in freezers (other provinces haven't), so 4,232 doses are reserved for that, but that leaves 3,700 doses in freezers that aren't accounted for that could be administered #covid19nfld
To be fair, the territories have been slower to deliver their doses, and we have some of the same challenges (remote fly in communities for example), something PEI isn't dealing with. Nunavut has administered just 45% of their doses #covid19nfld
North West Territories has managed to use 74% of their doses of vaccine, that's better than NL, and they are even more remote than NL, so it's not just geography #covid19nfld
The health minister insists there is no issue with delivering vaccinations on a mass scale, they did 80,000 people a month for flu vaccinations so it's not clear where the bottleneck is to getting doses out #covid19nfld
