WEEKLY REPORT

The figure is a graphic explaining how worldwide, 80% of people who have died from COVID-19 were over 60. There’s a pie chart on a globe stand with 76% of the chart represented in blue. The pie chart description reads, “76% of median COVID-19 vaccination coverage among older adults. Reaching 100% vaccination of older adults globally will help save lives.” Coverage rates were reported by countries for older adults completing a primary COVID-19 vaccine series by the end of 2022.
