Canada surpasses US vaccination rate as country prepares to reopen its borders CNN 49 mins ago By Paula Newton, CNN © Christinne Muschi/Reuters Canada s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau greets people as he visits a vaccination site in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on July 15, 2021. Canada notched a significant milestone this weekend, fully vaccinating about 50% of its population and surpassing the US vaccination rate for Covid-19. According to Health Canada, nearly 70% of Canadians have received at least one dose of the vaccine, putting the country very close to the 75% threshold that public health authorities say is needed to approach herd immunity. Millions of Canadians were still in lockdown in early spring as they watched their American neighbors get vaccinated and begin a return to more normal life.

Better vaccine outreach to younger Canadians needed as first doses slow, says Tam

Published Friday, July 9, 2021 7:08PM EDT Last Updated Friday, July 9, 2021 7:08PM EDT OTTAWA - Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says she is concerned that vaccination rates among younger Canadians aren t high enough as the rate of first-dose shots is slowing. “Now that the vaccine s been around for some time we are getting a bit concerned that that group isn t offering their arm, as it were,” Tam said at a virtual news conference Thursday. She said younger Canadians tend to be socializing more, and can infect older Canadians if they carry COVID-19, who may be more vulnerable to the disease even if they are fully vaccinated. Vaccines are reducing infection rates greatly, and evidence suggests vaccinated people who do end up contracting COVID-19 get very mild, if any symptoms. But there are some who still experience serious illness.
