Double dose to 81% of the population in Japan, 4th dose to 31%
Japan has become the first country in the world where a record seventh wave of corona infection has occurred. In Japan, with a population of about 12.50 million, so far 81% of the population has received a double dose of the vaccine, while 31% have received the fourth dose. About 10 thousand cases were coming every day in Japan about four weeks ago, but now on average, about 1.75 lakh cases are coming every day.
