More than a billion doses of anti-Covid vaccines have been administered worldwide, less than five months after the start of the first mass vaccination campaigns in December, according to an AFP count on Saturday evening.
At least 1,002,938,540 doses have been injected in 207 countries or territories, according to this assessment made from official sources. More than half of the total (58%) was administered in three countries, the United States (225.6 million), China (216.1 million) and India (138.4 million), but compared of its population, Israel is leading the way, with nearly six in ten Israelis already fully vaccinated.
