A red herring if the 5% was all in one place, yes, but it's not.
Toronto and Montreal are the two biggest cities, 600km and 6 hours apart. The next biggest is Vancouver, over 4000km away, the best part of two days by road. But yes you can't apply that argument that everyone is huddled together because we aren't.

Here each province will be doing things differently. In Ontario it's the Health Units who will organise distribution and administering the vaccine. |

Re: Coronavirus
Variants of concern are on the rise in BC, province having trouble identifying chain of transmission for 25% of the variant cases. (variants of concern are those such the one first identified in UK or South Africa, UK one seems most common.)
Of the 564 new cases today, 46 were variants of concern. "rolling average of new cases, as well as the number of active cases are at their highest point since Jan. 13 and the number of hospitalizations is the highest since Feb. 5. " 298,851 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine have been administered with 86,746 second doses given. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...ch-4-1.5937103 |
Re: Coronavirus
If Saskatchewan had given out nearly 300,000 doses we'd have 1/4 of our total population vaccinated. Hopefully when supplies start rolling in the pace will pick up. There are some good reasons for the initial program being slow off the mark, but on a graph it looks bad.

Re: Coronavirus
J&J vaccine has now been approved by Canada. This makes 4 vaccines...Pfizer, Moderna, AZ and J&J available. At present the AZ vaccine will not be given to over 65s.

Re: Coronavirus
No official time line for delivery for J&J but likely no earlier than April. They have faced some production problems and behind a bit on deliveries in the US so that could impact deliveries to Canada.

I have no memory of the childhood vaccines, and flu and tetanus is all I have ever gotten as an adult. |

Maybe it's one jab because it's a real big needle! 🤣
Gone are the days when jabs were from a huge glass syringe, with a long thick needle. |
Re: Coronavirus
