Administration of COVID-19 vaccines in Ottawa up last week
Ottawa Public Health says more than 16,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in Ottawa last week, a slight increase over the week prior.
OPH data show 16,600 doses were administered in Ottawa the week of Sept. 19, including 5,938 first doses and 10,662 second doses.
This is higher than the 15,540 doses administered the week of Sept. 12 and the 15,924 administered the week of Sept. 5.
As of Monday, 83 per cent of residents 12 and older are fully vaccinated. That accounts for 72 per cent of Ottawa's total population.
Half of the new first doses administered last week were to people 20 to 39. That age group has been lagging behind other age groups in vaccinations.
