The most conservative models show that group immunity is achieved when 7 out of 10 people are vaccinated. The European goal is to immunize 70% of adults by the end of the summer, that is, to receive two doses of the vaccine.

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 has been leading the race from an early age. The government, which pushed for re-election in March, reportedly paid nearly double what the European Union paid for each dose, and shares weekly citizen clinical information with pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

Also the United Arab Emirates, and in Europe, the United Kingdom also occupies an enviable position in the world rankings. In the countries of South America, Chile stands out from the rest.

TOTAL DOSES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Total inoculated doses per 100 inhabitants

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.

Portugal has almost always been on par with the 27 Member State average.… Malta and Hungary stand out positively other partners. With the lowest number of doses per capita – Bulgaria, Latvia and Croatia.

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 administered in Portugal: BioNTech / Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Janssen.

The European Medicines Agency oversees the development of the Curevax, Novavax and Spuntik V vaccines.

Moving average for the previous 7 days

Each country’s vaccination plans are subject to operational and logistical challenges. The second dose of covid-19 vaccine should be given three weeks after the first dose.

To avoid any misalignment of doses, at the start of the vaccination campaign in January, Portugal decided to keep the second dose for 21 days to ensure warehouse… At the end of January, this period was reduced to one week.
