And now for some good COVID-19 news: Canada now has the highest percentage of population (among countries with 1M+ population) of people vaccinated with at least one dose, with 63.62% of total population. That's 72.8% of the eligible (12+) population, and still increasing at a good clip.
The increases in the first-dose percentage were 6.23%, 5.90%, 5.28% and 3.92% -- dropping, due to the shift in focus to second doses, but still solidly increasing. (UK was 1.38% in the last week and the US 1.00%.) I expect we'll hit 70% of the total population (about 80% of the eligible population) well before the end of June.
For total doses applied, the four weekly percentages were 6.74%, 6.64%, 6.85% and 7.41%, respectively, so the vaccination pace is still going up. Still, much work remains to get the second doses to people.
