- Coronavirus vaccination campaigns have started worldwide, with the UK, US, Canada, the European Union, Russia, and China at the forefront.
- Several vaccines have been authorized for emergency use, with countries establishing specific vaccination rules to make the most of the limited supply available in the early weeks of 2021.
- An online tracker highlights the vaccination performance of the countries that have started COVID-19 immunizations, providing the latest stats available from those governments.
The first coronavirus vaccination campaigns have started in various places. Russia has been using its vaccines for months, after allowing the general public to get inoculated with the controversial drug before the research was completed. China started its public vaccinations campaign early for certain categories of people, although the nation shared more research data about several leading vaccines last year than Russia ever did.
Three coronavirus vaccine frontrunners dominated the news in the Western world, and they were the first to clear Phase 3 trials. The Pfizer/BioNTech drug is widely used, with the UK, US, Canada, and EU having issued emergency approvals. Moderna’s candidate was approved in the US days after the BioNTech drug, with the EU issuing emergency authorization for it this week. The UK and India have both approved the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine. On top of those, several candidates will finish Phase 3 trials in the coming months, and some of them are expected to receive emergency authorizations.
Not all countries have access to the same vaccines, however. And it’s usually the world’s richest nations that secure access to these drugs first, with poorer countries waiting longer for supply. Most countries have chosen to administer the vaccines in phases, starting with at-risk populations. Some are faring better than others, and there’s a tracker that allows anyone to inspect the COVID-19 vaccine performance of any country in the world.
