Thought I would give an update on the vax-front.

As a result of the Delta variant, Israeli vaccination efforts have picked up again - even when they're still on a rather low level. 64.7% got one dose (stagnated at 63% for weeks), 59.7% are fully vaccinated.

The US continues to fall behind. 54% of the population were administered at least one dose. That's a lot less than Canada (67.5%) and less than big EU countries such as Italy: 56.4%, Germany: 54.7% or Spain: 54.2% which were trailing behind for the longest time. The US is still ahead when it comes to fully vaccinated people (46.3%) but not for long.

The UK shows signs of slowing down as well but not quite on the level of the US. Daily doses administered per 100 people has dropped to just under 0.5% (7-day average). For comparison, in the US it's only 0.28%, Brazil 0.66%, Japan 0.77%, France 0.86%.

China has overtaken most of the world in record time. They are now on par with most EU countries and will surpass the US and UK in total administered vaccinations in a few weeks. They are vaccinating around 1.5% of their population every day. Twice as fast as EU countries, three times as fast as the UK and six times as fast as the US.

Unlike many other states at the top, the United Arab Emirates aren't slowing down at all. I can't find detailed numbers about the distribution of first and second dose but their total is 155 out of 200 so we can look at roughly 75-80% of the population getting at least one shot.

Canada decided to start the vax turbo. Their goal is to get as many people to receive the first dose as possible. 67.5% got their first dose (there are many conflicting sources stating that it's over 75% but that number excludes non-eligible people). Obviously there are still trailing a bit behind when it comes to fully vaccinated people (31%).
