It is reported that 349,980 doses were used in our country (somewhat less than on the website of the Department of Statistics) – 12.58 per 100 inhabitants.
In this sense, Israel is very separated from other countries, with more than 9.245 million already vaccinated. dose (102.15 per 100 inhabitants).
Provided by the BBC in the table Lithuania is ranked 27th with a dose of 12.24 per 100 inhabitants (as of March 12).

The information about the countries and their order varies depending on the day on which the data is based, as well as how many people are “hosted” in a certain place.
Are the states themselves to blame for the vaccination stagnation in the EU?
European Union (EU) encourage ambitious plans in summer 70 percent. adult population to be vaccinated against COVID-19. However, if states do not vaccinate as actively as expected, they are unlikely to be implemented.

Some members of the Community blame the European Commission (EC) for supposedly delaying negotiations on the purchase of vaccines, for regulators working too slowly, for negotiating too low a dose. For her part, the president of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, blamed the situation on AstraZeneca, which is not complying with the promised vaccines.
Political News Article statesthat the state itself is the main culprit of the slow process. Data at the end of February showed that most had not used the available doses. Although a certain amount of vaccine is deliberately left for the second dose in the event of an unexpected supply interruption, a particularly high proportion of unused doses suggests that they are simply not being used.
It is true that AstraZeneca administers significantly fewer vaccines. Hee promised to deliver 80-100 million at the end of March. dose, but announced in January that it could only deliver $ 40 million due to production disruptions. But even this compromise not very observed – so far about 12 million have been delivered. dose.
In some states, these companies don’t use vaccines because people just use them. refuses due to reduced efficiency, especially for the elderlyand for fear of stronger side effects. By the way, Some countries have reported blocking the use of AstraZeneca vaccines. after reports that they can cause blood clots.
