Over 50% of eligible Canadians have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

If you’re looking for an incentive to get a shot, officials have said that once that number reaches 75% — and 20% get their second dose — health restrictions can start being lifted.

To date, Toronto has seen 160,146 COVID-19 cases and 3,238 virus-related deaths.
