The European goal is to immunize 70% of the population by the end of the summer.

Portugal has already received 9,519,240 doses and more than half (60%) of the Portuguese have already been vaccinated – 38% of the population with the complete vaccine.

AGE VACCINATION

% Of the population of each age group

Of the 710,000 doses administered last week, more than half – 52% – went towards the first doses and the other towards completing vaccination processes, mostly for people between the ages of 50 and 64. In the first doses, the vast majority – more than 72% – were in people aged 25 to 49 years.

FIRST DOSES BY AGE RANGE

Weekly doses (data from Monday to Sunday)

SECOND DOSE BY AGE RANGE

Weekly doses (data from Monday to Sunday)

However, with the proliferation of the delta variant in Portugal and the knowledge that only complete vaccinations are effective, new concerns are raised. More than 625,000 users over 65 took just one dose, and 46,000 people were not even vaccinated.

AGE-CONTROLLED DOSES

Distribution of the accumulated number of doses (in thousands) by age groups. from 15 February

The metropolitan area still has the lowest percentage of vaccinated population: only 28% of residents of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo have a complete vaccine.

However, 6,000 more doses were administered in the last week than in the previous 7 days. Only the regions of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo and Madeira were able to increase vaccination rates.

Alentejo, where nearly 425,000 people have been vaccinated, has become the country’s most developed region: 37% received both doses; 20% take only one dose.

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.

TOTAL DOSES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Total inoculated doses per 100 inhabitants

Portugal has almost always been on par with the average of its 27 member states, but in the past 15 days it has accelerated its pace and has pulled away from its European partners.… When comparing the number of doses vaccinated per 100 inhabitants, Portugal ranks 7th with 92.9 doses per 100 inhabitants between the Netherlands and Germany. Malta and Hungary (which also uses Sinopharm from China and Sputnik V from Russia) stand out positively other partners. With the lowest number of doses per capita – Bulgaria, Romania and Denmark.

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.

POPULATION WITH FULL VACCINE

Percentage of the resident population with a complete vaccine. In countries and territories with a population of more than 400 thousand people

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.

NEW VACCINATIONS BY COUNTRIES

Moving average for the previous 7 days

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

There are 4 vaccines 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 shot); and AstraZeneca for people over 60 years of age (3 months between two doses).
