Faster COVID-19 vaccination rollout in U.S. is prompting jab jealousy in Canada
… As of Friday, 101.8 million people in the U.S. have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, 31 per cent of the adult population. In Canada, the number is five million first doses, or just shy of 14 per cent of the adult population.
States like Mississippi, Alaska, Arizona and Georgia have opened up vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 years old and up. Dozens more expect to do so soon.
The good news for Americans has prompted a slew of jealousy, and criticism from Canadians asking why our provinces are so far behind delivering vaccines compared to the U.S.
