Vaccination against code 19 is the largest campaign in the history of the world, which started a year ago on December 8, 2020 in the United Kingdom.
According to the French news agency AFP, about half of the world's population has so far received at least one dose of the vaccine.
However, while rich countries are giving their citizens a third dose of the vaccine, poor countries are still waiting for the first dose.This apparent inequality in the vaccination campaign is exacerbated by the emergence of a new type of corona, omecron, as well as controversy over side effects and opposition to mandatory vaccines.
Here we look at it in the light of AFP statistics.
The UK is leading the way in vaccination campaigns, with Russia and China already launching campaigns targeting specific cities and regions.
In the early days of the vaccination campaign, the United Kingdom used the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Many other rich countries, such as the United States, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates, launched the campaign on December 14. Saudi Arabia, Israel and the European Union followed suit at the end of the month.
Most of these countries vaccinated their citizens through the US and German company Pfizer BioNtech.
One year later, 55% of the world's population, or 4.3 billion people, have been vaccinated with at least one dose of the vaccine.
At least 44% of the world's population, or 4.3 billion people, have been fully vaccinated so far, AFP reported, citing official figures. In all, 8.1 billion doses have been administered worldwide.
