New Brunswick is reporting no new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, as the province marks 58.1 per cent of eligible New Brunswickers being fully vaccinated.
Meanwhile, 80.4 per cent of those eligible — in other words, aged 12 and older — have received a first dose.
The province has set a goal of having 75 per cent of those eligible fully vaccinated, in order to reach the final phase of its Path to Green reopening plan. The target date is Aug. 2.
Data analyst Ray Harris of Data Wazo told Global News that New Brunswick could hit its target by then, but said 10,000-12,000 vaccinations per day would be needed.
According to the province’s COVID-19 dashboard, there were just 414 doses administered on Sunday. Of those, 43 were first doses.
All eligible New Brunswickers can book their second dose appointments for a date that is at least 28 days after their first dose.
