Over 57 per cent of Canadians are fully vaccinated with two doses

Canada's deputy public health officer says almost 80 per cent of Canadians 12 and over have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Howard Njoo says over 57 per cent of Canadians are fully vaccinated with two doses.

He says that number is steadily increasing, with many people intending to get vaccinated.

Njoo says with fall and back-to-school approaching, it's a call to arms to get the shot and protect yourself and others.
