| Pyro as Bill said: If the UK was still part of the EU then vaccinations would be well over 1% for the EU by now. Protip-if you volunteer at a vaccination centre you can get yourself and friends/family vaxed if there's any left at the end of the day (there's always some left). |
By end of feburary if the UK goes at its current pace (which it cannot, lacks vaccines to do so), it should hit around 13,1m vaccinations.
That amounts to roughly 19-20% of their population.
HOWEVER....
The UK decided to only give people HALF of the vaccinations they needed.
They only get the first shot, and not the 2nd booster part.
This means UK will have 13m people (~20% of pop) with around 40-48% immunity.
That isnt by any means perfect.
In denmark, we re giveing both the first shot + the 2nd one.
So while we re only at like 3,5% of our population (right now), by end of feb, we might be like ~10%.
Whats best?
10% thats 95%+ immune to covid?
Or
20% thats 40-48% immune to covid?
Also note, that partial immunity (but not anywhere near fully so) will lead to high risk of mutation of covid, that then becomes more and more resistant to the vaccine.
