Key figures today. Two doses of vaccine give: 25% reduction in chance of infection vs. unvaxxed; 77% reduction in chance of hospitalization; and 91% reduction in chance of ICU admission. Source: covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
Notably, these figures are based on estimate that 97% of infections in Ontario are omicron variant.
Some good news: test positivity rate *seems* to be trending downward and 66,000 people went to get their first shots in last week.
(That 66,000 would include children who had previously not been eligible. I'd like to see to new vaccinations per week aggregated by age to see if those who've been eligible for a while are now getting their shots.)
Answering my own question: 31,557 over age 18 got their first shots in the past week. The 18-29 age cohort is the fastest growing group of newly vaxxed, (next to those 5-11).
