> Maybe THE fastest

Almost, but not quiet. As of 3/21 Britain has done 44 doses per 100 people.

Israel is leading with 112, followed by United Arab Emirates with 74 and Chile with 44.31. These countries are all smaller than Britain though, as you point out. No country as big or bigger than Britain is doing it faster.

For comparison, the US has done 37 per 100, while most of the EU countries are between 12-13. Hungary is at 21, because they have not only used the EU provided vaccines, but also using the Russian vaccine.




112/100?


2-doses needed per person for Pfizer, Moderna, and AZ vaccines.

So 200 doses per 100 people is the finish line. (Except now that USA just released J&J's single-dose vaccine, things got complicated...)


For Israel it's actually 140 is the finish line because kids under 16 can't get it yet.

They are pretty close - around 115 right now.

They are hoping to start immunizing 12-16 in about 1 to 2 months.


I'm under the assumption that child-vaccinations will be proven safe within the next few months, so the finish line at that point will be moved to ~200 doses per person.


In the next few months will only be 12-15. Younger ages will follow (next is 6-11), but not that fast.
