One-third of people are fully vaccinated there. Within North America, the continent currently with the highest vaccination rate – two out of every five people (41 percent) have received at least one dose. A total of 783 million people, or 10 percent of the globe, are now fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Only 1.7 percent of vaccines (45 million) have been given in Africa, despite the continent making up 17 percent (1.3 billion) of the world’s population.Ībout 1.7 billion people, or 22 percent of the world’s population, have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Europeans make up 17 percent of global vaccine recipients despite comprising around 10 percent of the world’s population. North America makes up about five percent of the world’s population but accounts for 16 percent of those who received at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot. Of the global doses administered, most still remain among wealthier nations. But for many nations, that has not been the case. Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic last year, world leaders and health experts have called for fair and equitable access to tests, treatments and vaccines. So far at least 2.7 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered worldwide with 40 million shots given every day, according to Our World in Data, a non-profit online scientific publication based at the University of Oxford.
