Those fully vaccinated against COVID-19 make up the lion’s share of people currently hospitalized with the virus in most provinces across Canada. 

True North has compiled a list of current hospitalization rates broken down by vaccination status using the latest data reported by various provincial and territorial health authorities. It is to be noted that reporting on hospitalization varies by region and that some provinces have not provided statistics on hospitalization by vaccination status. 

ICU admissions were also included although reporting varied widely by region.

In Canada, 77.10% of the population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Tuesday. It is also to be noted that, due to being a smaller share of the population, unvaccinated Canadians will make up a smaller statistical portion of hospitalization numbers.
