You really need age adjusted per capita numbers. Given Alberta’s demographics we should be substantially out-performing BC just due to lack of old people.
The first question I have with a table like this is does the data collected from each province measure the same thing.
I suspect if we dig into it though that over 60 booster percentage would drive these numbers.

If you go to figure 2 it shows that Alberta has less than half of the booster coverage than adjacent provinces doesn’t explain Quebec though (might be demographics for them)
