As #vaccines for #COVID19 are distributed all across the globe, we look back at this data visualization from 2017 that illustrates the power of vaccines to vanquish disease—an impact that far eclipses their minute risks. ➡ https://t.co/Mr2QfEDvi3

1184 new cases in Ontario today (0 deaths🙏🏻), thankfully vaccines have been working very well to reduce the risk of hospitalization & ICU admission.

Getting there....
Of 3.5 million Ontarians partially or fully vaccinated by April 17, just 2,223 became infected — an infection rate of 0.06 per cent — and two-thirds of cases occurred within 14 days of a first dose, before antibodies fully build up. https://t.co/HSA3bOq6Jj
