UAE overtakes Seychelles as most vaccinated nation

The United Arab Emirates has overtaken Seychelles to become the world’s most vaccinated nation, according to Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker.

The Persian Gulf nation has so far administered 15.5 million doses, enough to cover 72.1 per cent of its mostly expatriate population of 10 million based on a twodose regimen. The Seychelles has administered enough doses to cover 71.7 per cent of its population of just under 100,000.
