Canada’s 2nd dose vaccinations surpass U.S. as Americans grapple with COVID-19 surge - National | Globalnews.ca
The percentage of Canadians who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 has for the first time surpassed the United States.
As of the afternoon of July 17, Canada had vaccinated 48.64 per cent of the population with two doses, according to COVID Tracker Canada. By comparison, 48.4 per cent of the American population were fully vaccinated, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported.
While Canada was originally behind the curve on vaccination rates, things have substantially ramped up in the last couple months. We're at 70% with single dose and approaching 50% with two doses.
