With the largest vaccination campaign underway, the province has administered more than 22.2 million doses into the arms of Ontarians. According to data last updated on October 17, numbers released by the Ministry of Health show health officials administered 23,011 vaccine doses on Saturday, down from 30,369 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 the critical threshold for vaccination is now estimated to be at least 90% of the population. That translates to roughly 13,050,000 people that would need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19.
So far, 11,400,803 people have received at least one or both shots of the vaccine, 78.6% of the entire population (green segment).
A total of 10,830,407 people are fully inoculated against the virus. That number represents about 74.7% of the Ontario population, (yellow segment).
