Re: Coronavirus
We're (NB) finally back to the sort of minimal figures we had before Christmas thanks to the get togethers that even if nobody broke any rules, allowing multiple households to mix (up to a steady/fixed 20 people) was way too generous.
Following that everywhere went up a level or 2 or 3 and it's finally looking back under control. There's still an issue up north on the Quebec and Maine borders.

Re: Coronavirus
Hasn't Canada started vaccinating people yet?
Australia just got its first lot, 140,000 doses of the Pfizzer vaccine. That'll go a long way among 26 million... Although, the AstraZeneca one's just received approval and we're licenced to manufacture that here, so hopefully things will ramp up quickly. Or not.

Canada has received approx. 1,447,600 doses of Pfizer and Moderna combined of which about 89% have been administered.
BC where I am 162,982 have been administered of the 188,500 delivered with 17,562 people having received 2 doses and considered fully vaccinated.
We have a long way to go still.
Canada of course has had a supply issue due to Pfizer and Moderna having cut deliveries in some cases pretty significantly for the past few weeks.

Re: Coronavirus
They have now put a call out asking illegal immigrants to come forward for vaccination - no questions asked. Kinda makes sense in a weird sort of way I suppose.

Re: Coronavirus
88% of the doses Ontario has received have been administered from this tracking site, doesn't seem they are doing too bad.
Canada is still simply not receiving enough for it to go quickly, sucks but can't administer what you don't have.
https://covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtracker.html
602,848 (+17141 today) administered
683,255 delivered
88.23%
Canada wide 80% of the doses delivered have been administered.
2,033,060 doses of COVID-19 vaccines (including both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech) have been delivered to the provinces for administration. As of today, 80.4% of doses delivered to the provinces have been administered.

Re: Coronavirus
Got the vaccine today together with my wife. It's clear how they are rolling it out so fast, everything is very very well organised. Starts with a telephone call 3 or 4 days in advance offering you a date and time slot to the minute. Our vaccination centre was the local cottage hospital. We were met outside 5 minutes before our time and led to a waiting area outside a small examination room. On the dot I went in one room my wife in another, sat down, name checked, sleeve up and jab, job done. Then led to another waiting area for 10 minutes watched by nurses in case of adverse reaction. Total time not much more than 15 minutes. I think there were 10 lines running simultaneously and ours is tiny town.

Re: Coronavirus
Deliveries expected in 2nd and 3rd quarters, so we may not see any until April or later, but government is trying to negotiate earlier deliveries so if they can pull that off that would be good.
