Myths vs Facts of the Corona Virus (Covid-19) Part 3 of 4
According to the CDC websites and Our World DATA
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations
68% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
12.75 billion doses have been administered globally, and 3.53 million are now administered each day.
22.7% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose.
The Our World in Data COVID vaccination data
To bring this pandemic to an end, a large share of the world needs to be immune to the virus. The safest way to achieve this is with a vaccine. Vaccines are a technology that humanity has often relied on in the past to bring down the death toll of infectious diseases.
Within less than 12 months after the beginning of the pandemic, several research teams rose to the challenge and developed vaccines that protect from SARS-CoV-2.
Now the challenge is to make these vaccines available to people around the world. It will be key that people in all countries — not just in rich countries — receive the required protection. To track this effort we at Our World in Data are building the international vaccination dataset that we make available on this page. It is updated each morning, with the most recent official numbers up to the previous day.
