TRENTON, Canada, 28 July (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Jul, 2021 ) :- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that Canada now has 66 million coronavirus vaccines, enough to fully vaccinate all of its population.
Speaking from a vaccine clinic in the eastern Maritime province of New Brunswick, he said the milestone was reached two months earlier than promised.
"Back in the winter, I made a promise that we would have enough vaccines for all eligible Canadians by the end of September," said Trudeau. "So not only have we kept that promise, but we have done it two months ahead of schedule." The announcement comes as Canada's COVID cases slow and 10 provinces and three of its territories begin to open gradually from lockdowns.
The number of cases since the start of the pandemic in March 2020 stands at 1,434,909 with 26,512 deaths as of Tuesday, according to Johns Hopkins University which keeps a running total of cases and deaths worldwide.
The latest Government of Canada statistics on July 23 show that with a population of about 38 million, Canada has administered at least one dose to 26,444,315 (79.66%) and two doses to 57.45%, or 19,074,058.
Canada has not approved the vaccine for children under the age of 12. On July 26, there were 439 reported cases and six deaths.
CTV news figures differ slightly, with its vaccine tracker showing 80% of the eligible population with one dose and 63% fully vaccinated as of Tuesday.
