It would be better to tell us the percentages of first and second dose of the vaccine by province.

Even percentages mean nothing.

Percentage of what? Total population? Adult population? Target population? 

And what vaccine? As especially Sinovac's first dose works zero % against Delta and is as effective as a chocolate muffin. And as they don't include muffins, neither should they count Sinovac

Just accept that were not going to get honest figures and that what we are given has little value, as it doesn't even state how it's obtained and by what definition.

Those figures are not available from the CCSA, only from PHAs (Provincial Health Authorities) in each province. Thaiger's figures are just copied directly from the CCSA or DDC national figures.

Despite the repeated baseless assertions of figure fudging, with zero evidence or indications, those figures are consistently within 99.9% of the independent covidvax figures which show specific numbers and percentages of the full population, fully vaccinated and first dose only.

Given the 99.9% accurate numbers you can easily work out the percentages of adult / full / target population yourself if you want to, but that simply doesn't suit some people's agendas.

Agree, it's a waste of time, unless they really see the breach of some reasonable threshold, until then just enjoy new normal or whatever they call it at TAT
