So a drilldown into Canada's 2.0% vaccination rate shows the following. [As always, click on any graph to zoom in.]
I don't know if this is an official policy, but certainly looks like the northern territories (Nunavut, Yukon & the Northwest Territories) have been given priority on the rollout.
It is an interesting policy if it is, as they have three of the lowest case rates in Canada. And the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have had no deaths, and Yukon only one.
Not that fussed that Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are at the bottom as they also have some of the lowest case rates in Canada. Largely thanks to the Atlantic Bubble.
So that leaves good old Ontario down there at the bottom. High case rates and very low vaccinations.
Just what does it take to get vaccinated there?
Boy, do I remember those days......

The success of the northernmost provinces might be due to their using the Moderna vaccine. With much less stringent handling conditions, it's easier to get it into the smaller communities (no -70C storage requirement) which is why it is primarily being used in remote areas. It comes at a cost. Apparently the Moderna vaccine costs about $30/dose vs the $6/dose of the Pfizer. Just in case you wanted to know ;-)
