The trends in Americas, Western Europe indicate that vaccination has contributed to reduce fatalities in recent COVID-19 waves compared to the days of pre-vaccination. Similar pattern is observed in some of the Latin American countries. However, the low vaccination rates in African & Asian countries remains a cause for concern. In the earlier story, we reviewed the trends in vaccination in some of the developed countries around the world with high vaccination coverage. The trends indicate that vaccination has contributed to reduce fatalities in recent COVID-19 waves compared to the days of pre-vaccination. As per available information, as of 04 November 2021, USA & Canada in North America lead with a high proportion of the population fully vaccinated, followed by the Latin American countries. Europe slightly lags Latin America, with lower rates in Eastern European countries bringing down the average. Africa faces a severe COVID-19 vaccine crisis with only 8.7% of the population vaccinated at least with one dose. In this story, we look at the trends in a few of the countries from Latin America, Africa & Asia. Even for this story, we have relied on the data provided on Ourworldindata.org and the information is as of 31October 2021. The daily numbers for cases & deaths considered for the analysis are 10-day averages. Brazil Brazil has reported the third highest number of COVID-19 cases after USA & India with around 21.8 million cases by the end of October’2021. Vaccination in the country began during the latter part of January 2021 but had very low traction during the initial months. This period also coincided with the beginning of the third wave in the country which not only saw an increase in the number of new daily cases but also an increase in the number of deaths. It was immediately followed by a fourth wave, which also resulted in a high number of daily cases and deaths at par with the third wave. The vaccination coverage only started to improve amidst the fourth wave and gained momentum. As of October 2021, 74.4% of the population received at least one dose of vaccination and 55.2% of the population is fully vaccinated. The increase in the vaccination numbers coincides with a period of decline in the number of cases as well as deaths, with no new wave for four months now. Colombia Among the Latin American countries, Colombia reported the third highest number of COVID-19 cases, following Brazil & Argentina. As noted earlier, Brazil has already vaccinated close to 75% of its population with at least one dose. The same is the case with Argentina which has also vaccinated 75% of its population with at least a single dose. In comparison, only around 58% of the population of Colombia received at least one dose and around 41% have been fully vaccinated. While these numbers are comparably lower than Brazil or Argentina, the trend is like that of these countries i.e., the increase in vaccine coverage coincided with a decline in the number of new cases as well as a fall in the number of deaths. The latest wave was at its peak at the end of June 2021. The Vaccination started gaining pace at the beginning of June 2021 and by the end of the month, around 23% received at least a single dose. The country is yet to encounter a new wave of COVID-19 infection since July 2021. However, with only around half the population vaccinated, there is still a threat of increased cases in future waves. However, based on the data of other countries, it can be said that future waves could be less fatal because of increased vaccine coverage. Indonesia Indonesia had a noticeable spread of COVID-19 infection only during the last quarter of 2020, by which time many of the other countries were experiencing 2 & 3 waves. The numbers during the initial wave in Indonesia were also lower. The country experienced a comparatively severe second wave during Jan-Feb’2021. Vaccination began in Indonesia by the end of January 2021 though only about 10% of the population was vaccinated by the end of June. Indonesia witnessed a more severe third wave, with a peak of 50 thousand plus daily cases by mid-of July’2021. The deaths also peaked at around 2 thousand per day. The vaccination gathered pace during this period. Eventually, the third wave subsided starting August, with around 500 daily cases being reported as of date. The overall vaccine coverage is still lower with only 43% of the population receiving at least one dose and 27% fully vaccinated. However, this is a marked improvement compared to the initial few months of vaccination in the country.
