The good ol’ iron curtain again. Except Lithuania, Lithuania’s winning.
A new alliance has been created, and we shall name it IMPS! (Iceland, Malta, Portugal and Spain).
May Eastern Europe be in Portugal?
This is the only time we can say that Portugal CANNOT into eastern Europe 😀
Yesss proud of the iberian peninsula
The Iberian peninsula, we have a shitty economy, great cuisine and know how to go get a vaccine in a global pandemic
Brussels keeps letting us down :/
That number for France doesn’t correspond at all to official numbers I’ve seen, and is also different in other sources (74% on another tracker website, 89% of all people aged 18+ according to official government website).
Seems quite inaccurate
AFAIK Denmark should be a tad darker.
Norway just hit 70% today, so that’s something I guess!
VAMOS
The chart pretty arbitrarily uses red and yellow up to 55%, and then green for everything beyond 60%, suggesting that 60% is where the “good” range starts. If it were painted more fairly, and green started at 75% or 80% (typical numbers cited as targets to curtail the spread), Europe wouldn’t look so great.
Happy for Lithuaina!

Great info. However one thing I may suggest is to use % of people eligible that are vaccinated instead since in many places U-18 people still aren’t approved for vaccines & some countries have wildly different age demographic. For example ~27% of Turkey’s population is U-15 so even if Turkey did a perfect job and literally everyone got vaccinated it would still be only light green in the chart and below Iberia, Denmark, Ireland etc.
Spaniard here, very surprised but even more pleased that Spain, of all places, ran an amazing vaccination campaign.
I’m so proud of my Portuguese neighbours. They have been at top one since the vaccination started.
As usual is great to have you close 🇪🇸 ♥ 🇵🇹
~~Portugal can into Eastern Europe~~
~~Spain can into Nordic~~
Iceland and Malta can into Iberia.
Lithuania improved significantly!
Hey finally Lithuania is doing something right
Iberia proving they are, in fact, true westernmost Europe.
I’m Spanish. There are probably many things to say about this:
1. Antivaxx movement was never a thing in Spain. I don’t know if its because it comes mostly from the US and most people speak little english or what, but for example I don’t know a single antivax person. The only thing you may hear is “it has been developed very quickly…” or “it’s a new type of vaccine”, but that’s about it. There is a general agreement that vaccines are good. And socially, if you say that vaccines cause autism or some shit like that, you may be seen as dumb.
2. From the begining of the pandemic, the media has behaved reasonably well. There has been obviously shit flying from left to right and from right to left (specially politically), but in the relevant things such as vaccines, or not giving conspirancies a single minute in air, I think there has been an implicit agreement among all the mass media.
3. Even politicians have behaved reasonably well around vaccines. The strongest comment “against” you could hear from a relevant politician was “I belive that it’s a personal choice, I support freedom; in my case I have vaccinated by kids”. I think this is super important, since in most countries looks like vaccinating yourself or not is a political stand. Here it’s absolutely not. It’s completely agnostic to politics.
4. In general spanish people are very proud of the healthcare system, and trust it. Even if you don’t trust the media, politicians, and people in general, if doctors massively tell you that you should get vaccinated, you may be more or less hessitant, but you endup doing it.
