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.

47.5 percent of

the sequenced positive samples

The rapid increase in the B.1.1.7 proportion of Danish corona cases continues unabated: When the first cases of the variant appeared in Denmark, it was only found in

0.3

percent of the samples analyzed.

At the turn of the year it was around 2 percent, since then things have risen steeply: in the last week of January it was already

19.6

percent

, in the first week of February it was

30.7

percent.

In total, the virus variant has so far
