Covid World Vaccination Tracker – The New York Times

More than 355 million vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, equal to 4.6 doses for every 100 people. There is already a stark gap between vaccination programs in different countries, with many yet to report a single dose.

The data is compiled from government sources by the Our World in Data project at the University of Oxford. A vaccinated person refers to someone who has received at least one dose of a vaccine, and a fully vaccinated person has received all required doses of a vaccine. For the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, a person who is “fully vaccinated” has received two doses.

How many have been vaccinated, and who’s eligible

While vaccine doses remain relatively scarce globally, most countries have focused their early vaccination efforts on priority groups like the clinically vulnerable; people in their 60s, 70s and older; and front-line workers, like doctors and nurses. Israel is vaccinating its population faster than any other country, with 104.2 doses administered for every 100 people.

There is also a striking divide between continents. Less wealthy countries are relying on a vaccine-sharing arrangement called Covax, which aims to provide two billion doses by the end of the year.

Ten different vaccines are being administered around the world, according to Our World in Data. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which was found to be 95 percent effective at reducing coronavirus infections, is currently being used in 72 countries. Several more countries have approved vaccines but have yet to begin administrations.

Most of the vaccines currently in use require two doses for a patient to be fully vaccinated. Recently the Food and Drug Administration authorized a one-shot vaccine by pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson for emergency use in the United States.
