Vaccination records smashed in Ottawa last week

OTTAWA -

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.

First doses are available for any priority neighbourhood resident aged 12 years of age or older at the time of vaccination and second doses are available for any priority neighbourhood resident aged 18 years of age or older who received their first dose of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) at least 28 days before their appointment.
