Vaccination records smashed in Ottawa last week
Ottawa smashed COVID-19 vaccination records last week as it opened additional community clinics and flooded the city with vaccines.
According to data from Ottawa Public Health, 127,507 doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in Ottawa last week, well above the 90,000 doses administered each of the two weeks prior.
The busiest day for vaccinations was Friday, June 25, with 21,282 doses administered in a single day, another record.
As of 3:15 a.m. Monday, 995,981 doses of vaccine had been administered in Ottawa, including at community clinics, primary care clinics, pop-up clinics, and pharmacies.
Speaking on Newstalk 580 CFRA's Ottawa Now with Kristy Cameron, Anthony Di Monte, the city's general manager of emergency and protective services said one million vaccines will have been administered locally by this time Tuesday.
"In the next 24 hours, we'll be there," he said.
To date, 722,543 residents of Ottawa have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, accounting for 69 per cent of population, and 268,889 people—or 25 per cent of the population—are fully vaccinated.
