More than two-thirds of the COVID-19 vaccine doses delivered to Saskatchewan have yet to be administered.
According to the federal government’s COVID-19 tracker as of Wednesday morning, 4,254 of the 13,675 doses delivered to the province have been administered, or 31.1 per cent.
University of Toronto student Jean-Paul Soucy founded the COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group, which is also tracking the pace of vaccinations. He joined Gormley on Wednesday and said it’s been a slow rollout across Canada to start, compared to other countries.
“It looks like things are getting better. I’m confident things are going to get better but we have had a slow rollout in all the provinces,” said Soucy.

But some Canadian scientists say the future of the novel coronavirus is far from set in stone, noting there are a variety of factors that could shape the trajectory of the infectious disease. At a news conference Tuesday, several senior WHO officials warned that the development of COVID-19 vaccines is no guarantee that the virus will be eradicated, proposing that a more realistic goal would be to reduce the threat of transmission to more manageable levels.
