Argentina, 7th in the world ranking of people vaccinated per million inhabitants

Argentina occupies the 7th place in the world ranking of the largest number of vaccinated per million inhabitants, according to a statistical register of British origin which analyzes the data provided by the University of Oxford and on the basis of the measurement of doses of Sputnik V already applied since the start of the official vaccination campaign on December 29.

Since the process of applying different vaccines against the coronavirus began in several countries around the world, the British tracker Our World in Data, which uses data from the University of Oxford, has published on its site https: // ourworldindata. org / covid-vaccinations various statistics on the global pandemic vaccination.

In the period from December 29 to this Monday, Argentina ranks 7th in the ranking of daily doses of vaccination against Covid-19 administered per million people, on a moving average of seven days.

Although Our World in Data clarifies that in this classification “it is counted as a single dose and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dosing schedule (for example, people are given multiple doses)” , in the case of Argentina, which currently uses the vaccine produced by the Russian center Gamaleya, one dose per person is administered, the first of the two foreseen with regard to vaccination with Sputnik V.

The ranking is led by the United States, a country followed by Denmark, Great Britain, Bahrain, Russia and Germany. Below Argentina are Italy, Estonia, Canada, Poland, China, Mexico and France.
