Puerto Rico would now be ranked as the sixth jurisdiction in the world where more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered, according to a graph published by the Financial Times.
In data collected from sources such as the World Health Organization and Johns Hopkins University, Puerto Rico ranks below the United States in vaccine administration.
According to the graph, 3.3 doses of the vaccine have been administered for every 100 residents of the island.
The sites are distributed as follows:
- Israel with 2.7 million doses administered.
- United Arab Emirates with 2.1 million doses
- Bahrain with 0.100,000 doses
- United Kingdom with 4,700,000 doses
- United States with 12,200,000 doses
- Puerto Rico with 0.100,000 doses
The total number of vaccines that have been applied in around 60 countries now exceeds 42 million, according to the Financial Times.
Financial Times Governor Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia reacted positively to this study and congratulated the Department of Health and Secretary Carlos Mellado “for the great work they are doing in our town.”
