A more complete graph as of today (from Our World in Data:

ETA: Looking at both charts, it seems certain countries were omitted from both (the USA in Jon's, and others in mine). Gotta go to the link and add countries to get a better picture.

One thing I’ve learned about charts dealing with % of population vaccinated is that it doesn’t account for population age.

So here is the median age of some of the top countries vaccinated.

When you have a lot of kids under 12, you are going to have a lot unvaccinated. And when your population is elderly, you are going to have a lot vaccinated.

Just sayin

Good point.

And I assume those countries with extremely low percentages are not anywhere near accurate because they don't have an accurate way to count infections.

Portugal now has over 85% of its population fully vaccinated. Their seniors are nearly 100% vaccinated. Leaving only children for whom the vaccines have not been approved.

Great because I have to go to Lisbon in November to give a talk.

So great. Also looking forward to drinking a shitload of port.

Nigeria's near-zero vaccination rate is a bit concerning since it's currently the 7th most populous country and by 2050 it will be the 3rd (behind India and China).
