Canada needs to jump-start a stalled first-dose campaign to avoid a fourth wave, experts say
Canada has gone from a vaccine laggard to a world leader in COVID-19 immunizations in just a few months’ time — thanks to an ambitious vaccination campaign that has so far blunted the spread of the much more virulent delta variant.
More than 79 per cent of those eligible for a shot have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
While that’s a high number, it suggests there are still more than six million people over the age of 12 who have chosen to forgo a shot altogether, or wait for a later date.
