New figures show 81 per cent of eligible New Brunswickers now have at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The latest numbers from Public Health released Thursday show more than 1,100 people got their first jab Wednesday.
More than 7,100 other people received their second dose of a vaccine at a regional health authority clinic, a participating pharmacy, or a mobile vaccination clinic.
That means 61.7 per cent of New Brunswickers aged 12 and older have now received both doses.
Seventy-five per cent of eligible New Brunswickers must be fully vaccinated before the province moves to the green phase. The province has set a target of New Brunswick Day, Aug. 2.
