Great work.

If you are interested in looking at hospitalizations, Ontario has some interesting data in their “pandemic tracker.” Take a look at how hospitalizations for ILIs + COVID compare to historic benchmarks. I bet just glancing at this, you would:

- wonder where the Spring 2020 and Winter 2021 “waves” are hiding; and,

- be able to guess exactly when Ontario started rolling out the mass vaccination campaign

Based on this would you say the risk atm to get vaccinated in Ontario is at a low?

If you’re looking to get a first dose, I would do it now. Don’t wait - soon it will be coronavirus season and your risk of exposure will be higher.

There’s a reason flu shots are administered in Sep - Nov, and not peak flu season (Jan - Mar)

We just entered the 2021/22 resp virus season at the beginning of Sep. You can check out previous years’ reports, as well as keep an eye on viral prevalence in Ontario:
