Portugal has already received more than 13 million doses, but pharmaceutical companies have made fewer shipments in recent weeks, which has slowed the vaccination process. The scenario is to be reversed over the next 15 days when large numbers of doses are expected to arrive from Pfizer, Janssen and Moderna. Due to the fact that mass vaccination of 16-17-year-olds is scheduled for mid-August, the country should observe a further acceleration of the vaccination process.

AGE VACCINATION

% Of the population of each age group

The latest DGS report, covering the week of July 26 to August 1, reported 551,000 doses, down 112,000 from the previous week and almost half the number in the first week of July, when Portugal introduced more than 1 million vaccines in 7 days. Vaccinations were most successful last week among the population aged 25 to 49.

The center was the first region in the country to achieve the European target of 70% of the population with at least one dose of vaccine. In this region, 60% of users have already received the complete vaccine. Only Alentejo has the best result: 61%.

Lisbon and Vale do Tejo remain the regions of the country with the lowest percentage of the population receiving the complete vaccine. However, it was in this area that the most vaccines were administered: more than 4.29 million people.

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 United Kingdom also occupies enviable positions in the world rankings. In the countries of South America, Chile stands out from all the rest.

TOTAL DOSES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Total inoculated doses per 100 inhabitants

Portugal has almost always been on par with the average of the 27 member states, but since early July it has accelerated its pace and has broken away from the reference average.… When comparing the number of doses vaccinated by European partners, Portugal ranks 4th between Spain and Germany. Malta stands 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.

DAILY INJECTION DOSES

Average daily value for the previous 7 days

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.

POPULATION WITH FULL VACCINE

Implementation of each country’s vaccination plans depends on operational and logistical issues.

Four vaccines are being introduced in the country: Moderna and Pfizer / BioNTech for all ages (28 days between two doses); Janssen for all men over 18 and women over 50 (single vaccine); and AstraZeneca for persons over 60 years of age (2 months between two doses).
