China triples daily jabs, but rollout still uneven

BEIJING—China has tripled its daily COVID-19 vaccine rollout in June, inoculating 44 percent of its population with at least one dose, but its health experts noted an uneven rollout and the low rate of full vaccinations. China rolled out 17.3 million doses per day in June on average, up sharply from 4.8 million in April. Major cities of Beijing and Shanghai fully inoculated nearly 70 percent and 50 percent of residents respectively, but the rate in Guangdong and Shandong provinces remained below 20 percent.
