How long does it take to vaccinate the whole population?

I did not look for better sources, but I read in this [1] CNN post that in 2021: AZ is producing 3 billion doses, Pfizer 1.3B and Moderna less than 1B.

So in total we are going to have 5 billion doses in 2021. Each person requires two doses. So we end up vaccinating around one third of the world's population. It seems to me even at the end of 2021 our lives will be still far from "normal".

Are there other promising vaccines on the way?
