deployment of covid-19 vaccines deployment of covid-19 vaccines as of 7 may 2023, 13.4 billion covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, with 67.9 percent of the global population having received at least one dose. while 4.19 million vaccines were then being administered daily, only 22.3 percent of people in low-income countries had received at least a first vaccine by september 2022, according to official reports from national health agencies, which are collated by our world in data. part of a series on thecovid-19 pandemicscientifically accurate atomic model of

like the world health organization (who) and coalition for epidemic preparedness innovations (cepi), vaccine developers, governments, and industry evaluated the distribution of the eventual vaccine(s). individual countries producing a vaccine may be persuaded to favor the highest bidder for manufacturing or provide first-service to their own country. experts emphasize that licensed vaccines should be available and affordable for people at the frontline of healthcare and having the most need. in april 2020, it was reported that the uk agreed to work with 20 other countries and global organizations including france, germany, and italy to find a vaccine and to share the results and that uk citizens would not get preferential access to any new covid‑19 vaccines developed by taxpayer-funded uk universities. several companies planned to initially manufacture a vaccine at artificially low pricing, then increase prices for profitability later if annual vaccinations are needed and as countries build stock for future needs. the who had set out the target to vaccinate 40% of the population of all countries by the end of 2021 and 70% by mid-2022, but many countries missed the 40% target at the end of 2021. distribution note about table in this section: number and percentage of people who have received at least one dose of a covid-19 vaccine (unless noted

includes freely associated states vaccination note: includes vatican city phased distribution many countries have implemented phased distribution plans that prioritize those at highest risk of complications such as the elderly and those at high risk of exposure and transmission such as healthcare workers. in the united states, the advisory committee on immunization practices (acip) of the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) voted in december 2020, that the first doses of the vaccine should be prioritized for healthcare workers and residents and staff of nursing homes. acip recommended that the second phase of distribution (phase 1b) include persons aged ≥75 years and non-healthcare frontline essential workers such as those employed in grocery stores, restaurants, military, law enforcement, fire departments, retail, sanitation, schools, public transportation, self-storage, hotels, warehousing, and news media. however, states control the final plans for prioritization, distribution, and logistics of vaccinating everyone as supply becomes available. the european union began phased vaccine rollout on 27 december 2020. each member state is managing distribution with a common focus on prioritizing healthcare workers, people at high risk of exposure, the elderly, and those with serious health conditions. the covid‑19 vaccination programme in the united kingdom prioritized elder care facility residents and carers, followed by healthcare workers and those over 80 years of age. subsequent phases are based largely on age, declining from 75 years in 5-year increments. some countries used accelerated dose 1 plans with extended dose 2 intervals after the first dose in order to extend vaccination to as many people as possible until vaccine availability improved. data suggests that people who have recovered from covid-19 may only require a single dose of an mrna vaccine to reach full two dose immunity. mixed series the use of the different vaccines in a two-shot regimen is not widespread; there is no data on the efficacy of mixed series for covid-19 vaccines but such series are not expected to be unsafe or ineffective. the us centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) recommends the use of a mixed series only in exceptional circumstances, such as where a second dose of the same vaccine cannot be delivered in a reasonable timeframe. in canada, authorities were investigating the effectiveness of a mixed series and ultimately recommended the use of a first shot consisting of the oxford-astrazeneca covid-19 vaccine, followed by one of the
