I don't have the numbers handy for the U.K. I'm copy pasting what I dredged up for an earlier comment on the comparison with Israel.
As of Sep. 1, 82% of eligible Swedes have had one shot, and 70% are fully vaccinated.
Sweden seems to be close to, if not already at, the coveted herd immunity by vaccination.
In comparison, in Israel, 65% have had one shot and only 60% are fully vaccinated (a smidge over half of those 3x).
- leereeves 5y ago> 82% of eligible Swedes have had one shot, and 70% are fully vaccinated You should compare eligible to eligible, not 82% of eligible Swedes to 65% of all Israelis. In Israel, "eligible" includes being over 12 years old (the vaccines aren't approved for younger children yet), and according to NPR, as of a month ago "78% of eligible Israelis over 12 years old are vaccinated." https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/20/1029628471/highly-vaccinated-israel-is-seeing-a-dramatic-surge-in-new-covid-cases-heres-why https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/20/1029628...
- SergeAx 5y agoI am taking data from Google search page, it claims it took it from Our World On Data. Sweden: 61.9% of population fully vaccinated, Israel: 61.6% of population fully vaccinated. Those numbers are pretty much the same. I think your error was to compare % of elegible Swedes and % of Israel population.
- SergeAx 5y agoAnyway, I still think that Israel is highly vaccinated. If I sort Google data by % of population vaccinated, I see typical result is 70%-75%, bar microscopic countries like San Marino or Malta. Undervaccinated countries like Argentina or Brazil are at 35%-45%.
