Wales Vaccine Success
How to distribute jabs efficiently; plus adding 28 to 47
Wales has given one vaccination dose to a larger proportion of their population than almost anywhere else. In the UK as a whole, 75 percent of adults have received at least one dose of vaccine - which is among the largest proportions in the world. But Wales is well ahead even of that benchmark, at 85 percent. We look at the data to see how they achieved this.
