新型コロナワクチン、2回目接種70%超 「7割の壁」突破―政府

 政府は26日、新型コロナウイルスワクチンの2回目の接種率が70.1%になったと発表した。全国民の7割が2回目を終えたことになる。先行した海外では、接種率が6割を超えると伸び悩む「7割の壁」に直面する国もある中、日本では一般接種が始まった4月から順調に接種率を伸ばした。少なくとも1回接種した人の割合は76.7%。
 首相官邸によると、26日公表時点の累計接種回数は約1億8597万回で、2回目を終えた人数は約8879万人。65歳以上の2回目の接種率は90.4%に達している。(2021/10/26-19:42)

COVID-19 Vaccination Rate Tops 70 Pct in Japan


The COVID-19 vaccination rate in Japan has risen to 70.1 pct, the government announced Tuesday.
   Japan's vaccination rate is now the third highest among the Group of Seven countries, after 73.29 pct in Canada and 70.54 pct in Italy, having outpaced 56.47 pct in the United States and 66.69 pct in Britain, according to Oxford University's Our World in Data website as of Thursday.
   In Japan, vaccine rollouts have been progressing steadily since vaccinations for people other than medical workers and others with priority started in April, whereas some other countries are facing slow progress after the vaccination rate exceeded 60 pct.
   As of Tuesday, 70.1 pct of Japan's population has received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while 76.7 pct has been given at least one dose.
   The total number of vaccine shots given in the country came to some 185.97 million. The number of people who has received two shots stood at about 88.79 million. The proportion of such people reached 90.4 pct for those aged 65 or older.
