It has the EXACT information as YOUR link.
Both have that 2,180,000 *different* people have gotten at least 1 dose. This is for a population of 2,956,000 (2019 Toronto estimated population). That is 73.4% of the entire population.
Let's go RoW.
476,000 shots, minus 101,000 (because this is how many have had two shots), gives you 375,000. 375,000 out of 617,000 (2019 RoW estimated population) equals 60.7%.
Unless I am missing something in Toronto data.
The thing you keep forgetting when looking at Toronto's data and any PHU's vaccination data is that people from other public health units can get vaccinated in them so there numbers aren't entirely reflective of the uptake in their PHU. For example someone from Waterloo Region goes to Toronto to get vaccinated that vaccination will show up as a dose given by Toronto Public Health so the number of doses given in Toronto isn't reflective of the number given to residents of Toronto.
So the calculation you did to get 73.4% of the population of Toronto is vaccinated is actually incorrect since the total number of people given 1 shot in Toronto is residents of Toronto plus residents of other PHU's. On the image of Toronto's dashboard that you have it has a section for the share of Toronto resident that are vaccinated it says 66.4% have initiated which is for 1 dose, so you compare that to Waterloo Region which by your calculation has 60.7% with a first dose shows that we are only 5.7% behind, which isn't really that large of a gap considering we got alot less vaccines to begin with when the provincal government was prioritizing hot spots during the 3rd wave.
