Newfoundland and Labrador Set to Become Most Vaccinated Population for First COVID-19 Doses in North America - VOCM

Newfoundland and Labrador is poised to become the most vaccinated place as a percentage of population in North America.

This is based on first vaccinations according to Blake Shaffer, an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Calgary.

Health Minister John Haggie says 80 per cent of the population is set to have had their first dose by the end of this week.

However, in terms of second doses of vaccines, the province is at the bottom according to Shaffer, sitting at just below 20 per cent.

Meanwhile, the Public Health Agency of Canada says Pfizer-BioNTech is sending more than 2.4 million doses to Canada this week along with about 1.4 million from Moderna.

Another 18 million doses are expected in July, enough to fully vaccinate all 33.2 million Canadians over the age of 12.
