The BCCDC breaks Surrey into nine communities: North Surrey, Whalley, Guildford, West Newton, East Newton, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, Panorama and South Surrey.

Provincewide as of Nov. 12, it was slightly lower with 86.5 per cent of those aged 12 and up having received both doses, while 90.6 per cent have received one dose.

However, in the 12-17 age group by Nov. 11, 81.7 per cent have received both doses (up from 80.4 per cent by Nov. 1) and 88.4 have had a single dose (up from 87.9 per cent).

Provincewide, second doses for adults were slightly lower at 87.1 per cent by Nov. 12, and first doses are at 91 per cent.

For those aged 18-49, 95.7 per cent have had one dose (up from 95 per cent) – with Whalley and West and East Newton hitting 100 per cent – and 90.1 have received both doses (up from 88.6 per cent).

Surrey’s daily average rate of cases remains the same from the previous weeks at five to 10 cases per 100,000 people. It’s not the highest daily average rate of cases in the Lower Mainland during this fourth wave, parts of the eastern Fraser Valley are seeing the highest rates of cases at more than 20 per 100,000.

But Surrey reported the most cases in the Lower Mainland during that period.
