The United Arab Emirates has become the world’s most vaccinated nation, according to Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker.
The Persian Gulf nation has so far administered 15.5 million doses, enough to cover 72.1% of its mostly expatriate population of 10 million based on a two-dose regimen.
Vaccines from Pfizer Inc. and AstraZeneca Plc are available in the UAE, though the country’s vaccination program has hinged on Sinopharm, which is being produced locally. The government said it plans to offer a third Sinopharm shot to people who’ve already got two doses.
Before UAE, the East African country Seychelles had most number of vaccinations . They had administered enough doses to cover 71.7% of its population of just under 100,000.
