More than 10 percent of Canadians did not disclose their actual vaccination status when asked by federal pollsters if they received three doses of COVID shots, according to an internal memo by the Privy Council Office.

The March 2022 memo, which was obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter through an Access to Information request, found that although 68 percent of Canadians claimed to have received the shots at the time, the rate reported by Health Canada was 55 percent.
