As of Wednesday afternoon, Serbia had
administered
more than
a million
corona vaccinations.
This was reported by the state news agency, citing government circles.
The number includes first and second vaccinations.
356,010
citizens received the second vaccination, after which the most extensive protection is achieved with the currently available vaccines.
In relation to the population, the Balkan country with around seven million inhabitants has now
administered vaccinations to
more than
14 out of 100 people
(first and second dose).
In Germany this value is
5.1
.
In addition, Serbia only started vaccinations on January 19th, Germany on December 26th.
In terms of vaccination rates, Serbia ranks second in Europe after Great Britain.
Serbia has reached the high speed of vaccinations because it also administers Russian and above all Chinese vaccines in addition to the western ones.
It plays a role here that the leadership in Belgrade has good relations with Moscow and Beijing.
She was able to get large quantities of vaccine relatively quickly, especially from China.
