This trend continued until April 12, which is the last time the data was updated.

According to CBC News, experts believe differences in vaccine rollouts in both countries, as well as the more transmissible variants in Canada, have contributed to the changing situation. 

As of Monday, Our World in Data shows that more than 36% of Americans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while over 19% of Canadians have received at least one dose.

Health Canada has a robust website with all the latest information on the vaccines and can answer any questions you may have. Click here for more information.
