PEI Population Status and Trends: #3

* * * * * * * * * *

What can we read from the trend concerning how many Islanders are following Dr. Morrison’s guidance now by getting a ‘booster’.

With claims that roughly 90% of Islanders have at least 1 jab, it means that if that same level of ‘compliance’ to Dr. Morrison’s guidance on getting shots was holding strong, then what we should see is roughly “90%” of Islanders getting that prized booster Dr. Morrison said was designed to work against the latest “X” variant.

But that’s not what happened at all….in fact, according to vax data up to December 3rd (anyone getting a ‘booster’ would have done so by then) only 18.2% of Islanders got the booster, which they present as 31,431 Islanders! That’s from the chart for cumulative for Islander 5 or older.

The chart for “all” (including 0-4) has a total percentage at 19.2, pegged at 31,959.

That means that by December 3, 2023, 528 children under 5 received the booster.

But can we trust these percentages and population totals in these charts? Check out the next and final post in this mini-series to find out.

Note: I’ve attached screen captures of both the percentages and numbers of people for what I’ve stated above.
