Turkey ranks 9th worldwide
According to Health Ministry data, Turkey has administered more than 26.88 million jabs since a nationwide immunization campaign began on Jan. 14.
More than 15.4 million Turks have received their first doses, while over 11.47 million have been fully vaccinated.
Most COVID-19 vaccines are administered in two jabs, so the number of jabs given is not the same as the number of individuals fully vaccinated.
Since December 2019, the pandemic has claimed over 3.4 million lives in 192 countries and regions, with more than 164 million cases reported worldwide, according to figures compiled by the US' Johns Hopkins University.
The US, India, and Brazil remain the worst-hit countries in terms of the number of infections.
