VACCINES — From Page 1
This comes as welcomed news for the portions of Ontario hit hardest by the variants of concern, as the race to herd immunity is coming down to the wire. Statistics provided by the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) on Friday, painted a positive picture with regard to vaccinations in the region. The percentages of Windsor-Essex residents vaccinated with at least one dose stood at 92.4 percent for 80-plus, 89.3 percent for 75-79, 81.9 per cent for 70-74,
79.1 per cent for 65-69, and 75 per cent for 60-64. With those age groups having such high percentages, WECHU hopes that the rest will rise accordingly. In the 55-59 group, 45.8 per cent of residents have received at least one dose. That drops to 35.5 per cent for the 50-54 group, and down to 26.4 per cent for the 45- 49 group, 25.2 per cent for 40-44, and drops considerably for the groups under 40.
