COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Survey (CVCS)

The COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Survey (CVCS) targets all Canadian adults living in the 10 provinces and the capital cities of the 3 territories, except those who live: in institutions or collective dwellings; on-reserve. The purpose of the survey is to measure COVID-19 vaccination coverage in Canada and the provinces and territories. The survey compares vaccination coverage levels by different socio-demographic subgroups. This survey also helps to: find out why some people choose not to get vaccinated; find out if people who are not yet vaccinated against COVID-19 plan to get vaccinated; learn more about people's knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about COVID-19 vaccines and vaccines in general; learn more about trusted sources of information related to COVID-19 vaccines to inform communication efforts. Our most reliable vaccination coverage estimates are those based on provincial and territorial registries. The CVCS complements this system with additional information. The CVCS has multiple cycles. The first cycle was conducted in the capital cities of the territories. The second cycle was conducted in the 10 provinces. More cycles targeting adults living in the provinces may be carried out in the future. The collection period for a cycle is approximately 4 weeks.
