- maxerickson 5y agoThey say 83 million boosters given, which is ~25% of the population. They seem to be using a different denominator for the boosted number there (I guess the number of people eligible for the booster). It's reasonable to be measuring against eligibility when evaluating progress in administering boosters, but not being eligible for a booster doesn't really make someone less susceptible to infection, so it isn't the right thing to compare across countries.
