New York Times for the world's vaccine: Israel first, Kosovo nowhere

Data has been collected from government sources from our “Bota project in Figure” At Oxford University. A vaccinated person is called someone who has received at least one dose of the vaccine, and a person who is completely vaccinated is called when he received all the required doses of the vaccine. For Pfizer vaccine - BioNTech, a person who is “fully vaccinated” is said to receive two doses.

While vaccine doses remain relatively few on a global scale, most countries have concentrated their early efforts on vaccines in priority groups such as clinically sensitive; people over 60, 70 and older; and first-line workers, such as doctors and nurses. Israel is vaccinating its population faster than any other country, with 89.6 doses administered for every 100 people.

Albania is also among the countries that have received the vaccine, with 10,000 doses, and Kosovo is nowhere to be found.

There is also an extraordinary division between continents. Less-rich countries are relying on an agreement to divide vaccines called Covax, which aims to secure two billion doses by the end of the year.

Nine different vaccines are being administered around the world, according to our “Bota in figure” (Our World in Data). Pfizer vaccine - BioNTech, which was found to be 95 percent effective in reducing coronary infections, is currently being used in 66 countries. Several other countries have approved vaccines, but have not yet begun managing them.

Most vaccines currently used require two doses for a patient to be fully vaccinated. A dose-on vaccine by pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson was approved on Friday by an expert panel advising the Food and Barnat Administration and official authorisation in the United States is expected soon.
