As the European Union frets over the pace of vaccine supply and attempts to ramp up the manufacture of key vaccines within the bloc, the United Nations has warned that more than 100 countries around the world have yet to administer a single dose.
Many others only began administering their first doses this week and 80% of doses to date are concentrated in just ten countries.
There has been a rapid and well publicised roll-out of vaccines in countries including Israel and the UK. Data from Our World in Data, based at Oxford University shows other states including the United Arab Emirates, the USA and Chile in South America, all performing more strongly than the EU in terms of single doses, administered per 100 people in the population.
