At present, the Bunderepublik has partially vaccinated just over 54 percent of its population, while the United States lags slightly behind on 53.8 percent of the population. At 328 million people, the population of the United States is almost four times bigger than Germany’s population of 83 million. Since the data is calculated as a proportion of the population, this means Germany has to administer much fewer doses to vaccinate half of the population. According to public radio service NPR, the United States has administered 325 million doses of vaccine so far, compared to Germany’s 73.8 million doses.
