Since right now, in Canada, you guys are having trouble getting the vaccine one would expect you to be at that 20% hesitancy point. But eventually you will have easy access to the vaccine. It will be interesting to see what your hesitancy numbers are then.
Vaccine "hesitancy" in the UK is well under 10%. And dropping. Percentages who have had at least one dose of vaccine by age:

65+: 99%+
50-64: 97%+
35-49: about 60%
16-34: about 45%

The reason for the lower numbers at the lower ages is, of course, that the UK started vaccinating the oldest first.
