COVID-19 vaccination rates for P.E.I. children lag, but province still ahead of national average

COVID-19 vaccination rates on P.E.I. are among the highest across Canada — with 94 per cent of people over 12 now fully vaccinated. But when it comes to those aged five to 11, that rate falls. According to the province's vaccination data, as of May 22, 54 per cent of children aged five to 11 were fully vaccinated and 68 per cent had one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
