75% of Toronto adults now have one COVID-19 vaccine dose, 25% fully immunized | New

s
More one quarter of adults in Toronto are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The City of Toronto announced on June 19 that more than 75% of adults have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and over 25% have had two doses.

The milestone marks “important progress,” the City said, as it works to immunize as many residents as possible to fight both the initial strain of COVID-19 and the Delta variant.

Last month, federal health officials said that once 75% of eligible Canadians get their first dose and 20% have their second shot, some restrictions can be lifted.

People will be able to go camping and hiking, have picnics, enjoy time on patios, and have small, outdoor gatherings with family and friends, officials said.

However, crowds should still be avoided and public health measures must still be followed,

Those who received the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine may need boosters in the future, but more data is needed, health officials said. The Bidens received their second Pfizer Covid vaccine shots in January, so they would become eligible for the booster shot in September, the President told ABC News. "We're gonna get the booster shots," Biden said. "And-- it's somethin'

Pence, Diverging From Trump, Says He Was ‘Proud’ to Certify Election

Speaking at the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in Manchester, N.H., this month, Mr. Pence admitted that he and Mr. Trump might never see eye to eye about the Capitol riot. Former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday night made his most forceful attempt yet to separate himself from his former boss, Donald J. Trump, on the issue of certifying the 2020 election results. Speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., Mr. Pence defended the constitutionally mandated role he played in certifying the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, when a violent mob of Trump loyalists — some chanting “Hang Mike Pence” — stormed the Capitol while the president did nothing for hours to stop them. #vicepresident #riot #speaking #beproud #manchester #night #capitol #election #president #trump #mikepence #vice #speak
