COVID-19 VACCINATION TIMELINE:A recent report by the Economist’s Intelligence Unit (EIU) s

COVID-19 VACCINATION TIMELINE:A recent report by the Economist’s Intelligence Unit (EIU) shows that for many regions, it will take years before most of the adult population receives the vaccine for COVID-19. This map depicts the global timeline for majority populations to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. Most major economies in Latin America are expected to achieve widespread coverage by mid-2022, while most countries in Asia are expected to take until the end of next year to achieve the feat. Even in the region’s advanced economies, vaccinations are starting up slower than elsewhere. Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam will start their campaigns in late February and are expected to arrive at majority immunization by mid-2022. Only Asia’s city states and Taiwan are expected to have vaccinated 60-70% of their adult populations by the end of 2021. According to the EIU, most European nations as well as the U.S., Israel, and the Gulf states are on this trajectory as well, although problems with supplies and distribution of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines could cause delays. In many of the world’s developing nations, including many in Africa, the vaccination timeline is expected to extend into 2023.Source:  Economist’s Intelligence Unit (EIU), American Geographical Society -- source link
