  • 10 June, 21

“The country is getting closer to reaching the defined goal of having 70% of the population vaccinated with at least one dose by the month of August,” says the Ministry of Health.

More than 6 million doses of vaccine against Covid-19 have been administered in Portugal, with around 3.8 million of those corresponding to first doses and 2.2 million to second doses.

The information was released late on Sunday in a statement by the Ministry of Health that said that 40% of the country’s population (including the regions of Madeira and the Azores) had already received at least one dose of the vaccine and more than 22% was fully inoculated.

In mainland Portugal, almost 95% of people aged 60 and over have received at least one dose of the vaccine; of people aged 50 and over, 81% have.

“The country is thus getting closer to reaching the defined goal of having 70% of the population vaccinated with at least one dose by the month of August,” the statement notes.
