Doses administered
This page provides information on the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses that have been administered in Canada by jurisdiction, dose number and vaccine product. The number of vaccine doses administered is not the same as the number of people vaccinated.
We update information on the number of COVID-19 doses administered across Canada at different times:
- Key updates and updates from provincial and territorial websites are updated every weekday
- Reports from provinces and territories are updated every 4 weeks on Fridays at noon ET with data up to and including the previous Sunday.

Vaccination programs
- COVID-19 vaccination began in Canada on December 14, 2020.
- You’re currently eligible for COVID-19 vaccination if you’re 6 months of age or older and you don’t have contraindications to the vaccine.
- The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) issues statements with recommendations on the use of COVID-19 vaccines. Briefly, NACI recommends:
- a complete primary vaccine series to provide protection against COVID-19
- booster doses after completing the primary series to restore or improve protection against COVID-19. Please refer to the COVID-19 vaccine chapter of the Canadian Immunization Guide for more details on:
- booster eligibility
- timing of a booster dose
- recommended products
- In their statement, Guidance on COVID-19 vaccine booster doses: Initial considerations for 2023, NACI recommends a booster dose.
- for eligible individuals who haven’t received one since the start of fall 202
- 6 or more months after the previous COVID-19 vaccine dose or SARS-CoV-2 infection (whichever is later), as more time between exposures to vaccine or infection may result in a better immune response
- using, preferably, bivalent Omicron-Containing mRNA COVID-19 vaccines
