With the largest vaccination campaign underway, the province has administered more than 21.3 million doses into the arms of Ontarians. On September 17, numbers released by the Ministry of Health show health officials administered 35,285 vaccine doses on Thursday, down from 35,463 doses the day prior.
This graph represents Ontario’s progress thus far in the vaccination campaign (see above). The dark blue bar represents the population of Ontario, an estimated 14.5 million. Health officials suggest roughly 80% of the population would need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19.
So far, 11,061,902 people have received at least one or both shots of the vaccine, 76.3% of the entire population (green segment).
A total of 10,256,563 people are fully inoculated against the virus. That number represents about 70.7% of the Ontario population, (yellow segment).
