Until 70% of the population reaches at least one dose, a few more days.
Portugal has already received nearly 13 million doses. So far, less than 1 in 3 Portuguese have yet to start the vaccination process: 3.3 million people. Most of them will not be vaccinated because they have not reached the appropriate age.

VACCINATION BY REGION
On mainland Portugal
All over the world, one way to understand how fast vaccinations are being carried out in different countries is to observe the number of doses administered per 100 inhabitants.
COUNTRIES WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF INOCULATED DOSES
Total vaccinated doses per 100 inhabitants. In countries and territories with a population of more than 400 thousand people
Israel was in the lead early in the race. The government, which sought re-election in March, paid nearly double what the European Union paid for each dose, and it shares clinical information from citizens with the pharmaceutical company Pfizer on a weekly basis.
The United Arab Emirates, and in Europe, the UK also occupies enviable positions in the world rankings. In the countries of South America, Chile stands out from all the rest.

Portugal has almost always been on par with the average of its 27 member states, but since early July it has accelerated its pace and is ahead of the reference average.… When comparing the number of doses vaccinated by European partners, Portugal ranks 5th between Spain and Germany. Malta stand out positively… With the smallest number of doses per capita – Bulgaria and Romania.
DOSES DISTRIBUTED IN PORTUGAL
Total per week by number of doses
In the European Union, vaccines are sent simultaneously to all Member States and the dose distribution is proportional to the number of inhabitants in each country. However, Member States are vaccinating at different rates. In Portugal, the vaccine Pfizer / BioNTech is the most widely represented and Janssen (J&J) has the least dose distribution.
Portugal buys over 32 million doses of various covid-19 vaccines… The purchase is part of an agreement between the European Union and six pharmaceutical companies. Currently there are four vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency and used in Portugal: BioNTech / Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Janssen.
The European Medicines Agency oversees the development of the Curevax, Novavax and Spuntik V vaccines.
