By Contrast, in Vietnam, about 80% of the population is fully vaccinated and about 48% have had at least one booster shot. Germany has one of the highest rates for both fully vaccinated and booster shots, where nearly 60% have received a booster.
By far the country with the largest vaccination rate is China, where nearly 88% of the population is fully vaccinated.
Many other countries also are outpacing the United States. In Japan, over 80% are vaccinated, in Brazil and Bangladesh about and nearly 74% of the European Union.
A few countries are about the same vaccination rate as the United States. They include Mexico at just over 62%, Indonesia, where nearly 68% of the population is vaccinated, and India, where about 63% are fully vaccinated.
