The number of eligible New Brunswickers who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 has climbed to 51 per cent.
Figures from Public Health show 4,049 people received their second dose of a vaccine on Sunday.
Nearly 500 people aged 12 and older received their first dose of a vaccine.
That means 79.6 per cent of eligible residents now have at least one dose.
The number of doses administered now stands at more than 905,000.

The Department of Health has been working with partners including Extra-Mural/Ambulance New Brunswick to organize mobile vaccination clinics which provide walk-in service.
Clinics are taking place this week at these locations across the province:
- Kinsmen Club, 141 School St., Fredericton, today, Monday, July 12, between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
- Marysville Walk-in Clinic, 231 Canada St., Fredericton on Tuesday, July 13, between noon and 6 p.m.
- Kiwanis Community Centre, 47 Legion St., Hillsborough, Tuesday, July 13, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

If attending a mobile vaccination clinic, you should bring your Medicare card, a record of vaccination if receiving a second dose and a signed consent form.
These clinics will be administering the Moderna vaccine, which can be used as either a first or second dose and can be interchangeable with other vaccines.
The Department of Health is also working to provide New Brunswickers with online access to details about their COVID-19 vaccination which will be accessible through the MyHealthNB portal, similar to how individual COVID-19 screening test results are provided.
Online COVID-19 immunization records are not yet available but are expected to be accessible by the end of July.
Meantime, Public Health did not report any new cases for the seventh day in a row with only five active cases remaining in the province.
One person is in hospital with the virus and one individual has recovered since Sunday.
