Countries around the world have stepped up vaccination as new variants of the novel coronavirus emerge. According to Bloomberg’s Covid-19 Vaccine Tracker and figures provided by Our World in Data , more than 580 million doses of the vaccine have been administered and 127 million people fully vaccinated. As per data from the aforesaid sources, European nations seem to be faring better than the rest of the world. Vaccine rollouts in advanced economies are better than those in emerging and developing countries as the latter is largely dependent on imports. On the other hand, despite being two of the largest vaccine manufacturers, India and China, too, have struggled to inoculate large percentages of their populations.
