71.744% of the Canadian population has received at least one dose 82.404% of Canadians 12+ have received at least one dose Source: https://covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtracker.html https://covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtracker.html

  So the >80% is for 12 and older. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-coverage/ https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-cover... For the whole population, it's a bit over 60% so the "misinformation" you're referring to is approximately correct.

    No, the numbers I gave are the numbers for receiving the first dose. OP did not say fully vaccinated but instead having been vaccinated. Are you not vaccinated once you have one dose? If not, what verb would you use after receiving your first dose?

      You're being pedantic. "Vaccinated" as it's used, for example, by organizations requiring vaccinations is to have had both doses (in the case of the 2 dose vaccines) and wait the two weeks or whatever after the second dose. At that point, you're considered vaccinated and not before.

    What happens for families with children under 12 who want to travel by train or air? I didn't see anything specific mentioned for this unvaccinated group.

      "accommodations will be made for "those few who are unable to be vaccinated," such as testing and screening."

    > For the whole population, it's a bit over 60% so the "misinformation" you're referring to is approximately correct. The context is important, that 40% was a response to someone that said that a great proportion of people are for the vaccine (now whether his 10% figure is right or wrong, that's a whole other things that I won't debate here), thus his point for giving that figure is to give doubt over whether enough people are for the vaccine or not. So yeah I would argue that saying 40% of people are against, by including people that can't get vaccinated in Canada (younger than 12) and people that didn't get both dose, to show that not that many people are against the virus, is disinformation. He didn't used theses words, but he was responding to something and not simply stating facts about how many people got vaccinated. 82.521% of the population that could get vaccinated, got the vaccine in their body. That does show that a good proportion of Canada population are not against the vaccine.

82% of the age-eligible population is either fully vaccinated or has started the process with the first shot.
