Comparing COVID-19 Vaccinations by Country Population in Africa

Here we rank countries by the percent of doses to the total population grouping the data by differing country population.

Recall that theoretically this number could be as high as 200% in a country where only vaccines requiring 2 doses are used, and everyone in the population were vaccinated. This is the only percent-of-population parameter that is usually reported for all countries, but can be sporadically reported on a daily basis.
