  • Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 Following Vaccination in Ontario
    ENHANCED EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SUMMARY Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 Following Vaccination in Ontario: December 14, 2020 to September 18, 2021 Purpose This report describes confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) following COVID-19 vaccination. In order to identify cases with a symptom onset date after receipt of vaccine (i.e. post-vaccination cases), vaccine uptake data extracted from the Ontario Ministry of Health’s (MOH) COVaxON application was linked to case data extracted from the MOH’s Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM). Further details on the linkage are described in the Technical Notes. Data in this report include the most current information extracted from COVaxON as of September 20, 2021 at approximately 7:00 a.m. and CCM as of September 20, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. The report includes COVID-19 vaccinations and cases reported up to September 18, 2021. For additional information on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the province, please visit the interactive Ontario COVID-19 Data Tool to explore vaccination uptake data by public health unit, age group and trends over time. The weekly report on COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake and Program Impact in Ontario further describes vaccine uptake across the province as well as the impact of the vaccination program on COVID-19 cases and severe outcomes. Background This report provides a focused analysis on confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection following COVID-19 vaccination. While vaccines provide a high degree of protection from COVID-19 infection, it is expected that a small proportion of vaccinated individuals may become infected as no vaccine is 100% effective.
