How the H1N1 Vaccine Reaches Canadians & Some Statistics on the Rollout Thus Far
Last week I found an interactive map on the Globe and Mail website that provides a big-picture look at the number of confirmed H1N1 hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths by province/territory and for Canada as a whole. Today, I found another great resource courtesy of the National Post.
The image illustrates how H1N1 vaccines in Canada originate from GlaxoSmithKline, the sole provider of H1N1 vaccines in Canada, and ultimately reach the general population. The image also indicates the eligibility groups province by province and provides up-to-date information on the roll-out so far.
Here is a summary of the content provided:
British Columbia:
- 1.16 million doses received.
- Over 900,000 injections thus far.
Alberta:
- 939,500 doses received.
- Approximately 500,000 injections thus far.
Saskatchewan:
- 260,000 doses received.
- 195,000 injections thus far.
Manitoba:
- 269,200 doses received.
- 200,000 injections thus far.
Ontario:
- 2.8 million doses received.
- 1.9 million injections thus far.
Quebec:
- 1,180,971 doses received.
- 1,107,614 injections thus far.
Newfoundland:
- 124,300 doses received.
- No information available in terms of injections thus far.
New Brunswick:
- 186,500 doses received.
- 146,000 injections thus far.
Nova Scotia:
- 230,000 doses received.
- 137,300 injections thus far.
Prince Edward Island:
- 41,200 doses received.
- 27,000 injections in the first two weeks since receiving initial batch of vaccines.

One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.
