Approximately 301.4 mln people have been vaccinated by now, which is 2.5 times above the number of COVID-19 infection case. Therefore, about 3.8% of the planet population was vaccinated.
About 70% of the global population should be vaccinated to achieve the herd immunity, the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier.
The vaccination rate increased to 7.4 mln vaccinations per day during this week, compared to 4.4 mln daily vaccinations in late February.
