[아시아경제 나주석 기자] The number of vaccines for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) worldwide exceeded 2.6 million. The number of countries to be vaccinated and the number of vaccinations are expected to increase rapidly as each country begins to vaccinate the crown 19 one after another.

According to Bloomberg News on the 23rd (local time), the vaccine was vaccinated against Corona 19 in the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Russia, Israel and Canada. As of this day, 1.01 million people were found to have been vaccinated in the United States. In China, 650,000 (as of 19), in the UK 500,000 (as of 21) and in Russia, 440,000 (as of 22). 30,000 Israelis (at 21 days) and Canada 30,000 people (at 23 days) each received the vaccine.

In the case of the US, which initially aimed to inoculate 20 million people by the end of the year, the goal is expected to be difficult to achieve. The first 3 million rush-approved doses of the Pfizer-Bioentech-developed vaccine were delivered across the United States, but only about a third of the vaccines have been inoculated. The reason why the number of inoculations is small compared to the quantity supplied is due to logistical problems and difficult conditions in medical facilities. Administering Pfizer’s Corona 19 vaccine, which requires cryogenic storage at -70 degrees Celsius, also requires operational personnel at medical facilities. Furthermore, social distancing procedures are also necessary for safe vaccination. For this reason, hospitals argue that securing workforce is key.

Since then, 9.5 million doses of the approved Modena Corona 19 vaccine are being delivered and the inoculation rate is expected to increase. In the case of modders and vaccines, they can be stored at -20 degrees Celsius, which makes distribution and handling relatively easy. Because of this, the number of vaccines is expected to increase rapidly as modders or vaccines become available across the country.

In addition, the number of countries vaccinated increases rapidly before and after Christmas. In Mexico, Pfizer vaccination will begin on the 24th for medical personnel. Meanwhile, Bloomberg believes that each country has so far signed 8.3 billion doses of Corona 19 vaccine contracts. Considering that the vaccine is typically given twice, roughly half of the world’s 7.8 billion people can get vaccinated.
