Statistics in all three metrics are down, and not just in Oakville but across the province. The province’s chief medical officer, Kieran Moore, announced two weeks ago that the seventh wave had peaked. Even so, active cases and hospitalizations are higher than a month ago. Across Canada, the number of people in hospitals is finally falling, but the number of new cases is still rising. The total number of active cases stands at nearly 350,000 people – close to 1% of Canada’s total population. **Vaccine reservation: Fourth doses (second booster doses) of the vaccine are now available for anyone from Halton aged 18 years and older, although fourth doses must be at least five months after your last dose and 90 days since then that you have COVID-19. Halton continues to book first- and second-dose vaccinations for all residents six months and older, as well as third-dose boosters for those 12 years and older. First, second and third installments for 12 and over are still available on a District-wide basis. **CLICK HERE to book a first, second, third or fourth vaccination appointment at a Halton area vaccination clinic

Ontario COVID-19 Update
As of June 18, 2022, the province of Ontario is no longer publishing new daily data about COVID-19 in the province. Due to this development, the Oakville News no longer has access to regular public data on these items at the county level. More information from the province of Ontario about the current COVID-19 situation, including “updates,” is available on a limited basis online here. Known active cases are no longer a reliable indicator of the spread of COVID-19 due to restrictions on access to testing. Summary of Provincial Vaccinations:

The evidence is clear: vaccination is the best form of protection. Local, provincial, national and international health units confirm the same data that Canada’s approved vaccines effectively protect you from COVID-19 and significantly reduce your risks of getting sick, going to hospital and dying from the disease. The image on the right is a graph from the Halton region showing how dramatic the risk of getting sick or being hospitalized when vaccinated is. Sources:
