COVID-19 vaccine distribution task force’s dashboard are expected to cause some of stats to decrease, according to Vickie Murray.The head of the task force told the Health Board that they will now be using the 2020 estimate from Statistics Canada for the overall population which includes non-permanent residents living in Waterloo Region.
Up to 48,000 Waterloo Region kids aged 5-11 to be eligible for COVID-19 vaccine “This will move us from a population denominator of 588,878 to a population denominator of 605,232,” Murray explained, as the rise in population would cause overall percentages to drop.“We’ve taken time to evaluate and analyze recent population data, and we are now ready to update our dashboard accordingly,” she added..
