Great work!
Not sure that I particularly agree with simplistic forumala to calculate % of population vaccinated. The literature [1] seems pretty clear that even a single dose of any of the vaccines is highly effective. The UK sitting at 17.4% vaccinated seems low with the number of daily deaths sitting at 1% of what they were prior to the vaccinations.

- _griggs 6y agoThanks! This is a good point - the current calculation is a quick and dirty approach to clearly answer the question "at today's rate, how long would it take us to get X-percentage of the population fully vaccinated?". But it may be better to count one dose differently. Or show the current % of population with one dose if that data is available (which it is for some countries)
