Vaccinations

In Grande Prairie, 52.3 per cent of all eligible residents have their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, meaning 32,600 people 12 and older have at least one dose.

Across Alberta, the number of people who have received at least one dose of vaccine sits at 2,680,679 while 1,040,740 Albertans have received two doses.

Those totals mean 60 per cent of Albertans are immunized with at least one dose or 70.4 per cent of those aged 12+.

With the 70 per cent threshold reached as of June 17, that means Alberta will reach the third and final stage of its reopening plan on July 1, meaning most all public health measures will be removed in the province.

Alberta Health adds 23.3 per cent of the population (27.3 per cent of those 12+) have been fully vaccinated.
