Only one country has reached 90%. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

How is the UAE doing compared to other countries?

I was in the Uae for 5 days last week and travelling again tomorrow. For me it looks like pre-covid times - everything is open. Cricket matches in stadiums to dubai expo. They report < 100 cases per day but no one really believes those numbers to be true.

Mask wearing( atleast properly ) was maybe 40-50%. Countries like Oman with lower vaccination rates felt much safer because everyone seemed to take mask wearing much more seriously.

In my country (France) only +12yo are eligible for the vaccination and we are currently at 86.1% fully vaccinated in this population (88.3% with at least one dose).

Are we talking about the whole population or only eligible people?

Great question. I haven’t checked the methodology of the site I linked.
