The 90% figure has sometimes been quoted in Denmark but it doesn't include people not eligible for vaccination. Now that smaller kids are offered the vaccine this ratio has decreased and really shouldn't be used at all. The percen

Or the opposite. The German prime minister is Angela Merkel while the president is Frank-Walter Steinmeister. I had to look the second up because I didn't know who it was but I know that he doesn't have political power like Merkel

It's my impression that the vaccination program in Denmark is very efficient just like in the UK. However, the speed is limited by the vaccine imports which are governed by deals made by the EU. I would think that Norway is similarly l
