The only nations of any size or influence that have higher rates of vaccinations than Canada is Chile, the UK and the UK. If you discount people 16+ who won't be eligible for the vaccine, Canada's 1st dose vaccination is almost 30%.

16+ includes some minors/children and adults too. Ontario just opened up vaccinations for 40+, not 16+...because there are not enough vaccines available in Canada.

Yes but Health Canada has not approved any vaccine for people 18+.
So people 18+ aren't getting it because it's not approved for them. Not because there isn't supply. So when considering vaccination rate of those eligible would be a more accurate metric.
Sort of like when Biden said he wants all people 18+ to be able to book a vaccine if they want it.

Provinces decide what ages to vaccinate based on approved vaccines...Canada just doesn't have enough doses...even going so far as to stagger 2nd doses way beyond the manufacturers tested/approved interval. Playing games with numbers will not change Canada's situation and vaccine shortage.
