According to ‘Our World in Data’ – a scientific online publication that focuses on large global problems – Sri Lanka has vaccinated 13% of its population during this period.

 

The Head of the web publication Edouard Mathieu revealed this in a tweet posted yesterday (Sep. 03).

 

Vaccinating 12.5% of its population in the past week, the island nation was followed by Ecuador.
