Vaccination progress: Brazil ranks 15th in proportion to its population

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – By Saturday, March 27, 17.52 million doses had been applied in Brazil, which corresponds to 6.3% of the population. In absolute numbers (volume compared to other countries), the country is in 5th position.

Furthermore, almost 2% of the population was fully immunized with two doses of the vaccine. Therefore, about 4 million Brazilians could already be fully protected against the disease, even though no immunizer guarantees 100% effectiveness against the coronavirus.

The data are from Our World in Data, a non-profit organization that compiles information provided by the countries participating in the survey.
