COVID-19 Vaccination in Portugal
23 April 2021
According to the National Health Service (SNS), as of 21st March, Portugal has exceeded 2 million first doses of vaccines administered in a 10-million population. Nearly 700,000 include full vaccination (2 doses). This means that almost 2,900.000 doses have been administered in the country.
This corresponds to 20.73% of the population that has received at least the first dose and 7.23% has been fully vaccinated.
The vaccination plan kickstarted in late December with healthcare professionals and population over 80 years, among others. Over the past weekend, a new record was set, with 120,000 vaccines administered in one day. The vaccination task force aims to vaccinate 100,000 people per day in May.
