More Than 12.3 Million Shoots Given

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has now being cleared for use across North America, Europe and the Middle East, and vaccination campaigns have began in at least 30 countries. 

That shot and the vaccine from Moderna were both found to reduce coronavirus infections by 95% in trials of tens of thousands of volunters.

A vaccine by AstraZeneca Plc and University of Oxford got it´s first major authorization, by the U.K., on Dec. 30. China has also cleared Sinopharm’s vaccine for general use, with the goal of vaccinating 50 million people there by early February.

Another countries got a head start on vaccinations. China and Russia authorized their own shots in July and August, before they’d been fully test. 

Desperate for relieve from the worse pandemic in a century, countries have struck deals to secure vaccine access. By our count, 8.25 billion doses have already been set aside.
