Vaccination steps up a gear

China’s vaccination campaign has accelerated sharply over the past week. The daily pace of vaccination is now only just short of the five million needed to hit the target of inoculating 40% of the population by the end of June. The authorities are starting to share more regular information on the progress of the campaign too, which points to greater confidence that the target will be met. While China is still a long way behind the global leaders and even the euro-zone on a per capita basis, at this rate China’s vaccination campaign will soon be one of the more advanced in the emerging world.
