Note: Data are as of the end of December 2021, except for the Pacific, which is as of the third week of December 2021. The Pacific subregion had vaccinated only 14% of its population as of third week of December 2021.įigure 1.1: COVID-19-Vaccinated People, by Region (% of population)ĬOVID-19 = coronavirus disease, EU = European Union (27 members). Within Asia and the Pacific, the East Asia subregion recorded the highest vaccination rate at more than 86% (Figure 1.2), followed by Australia and New Zealand at 80%, Southeast Asia at 61%, South Asia at 57%, and Central Asia at 48% of their total population fully or partially vaccinated. The region was behind North America at 74% and Latin America at 70%, but was ahead of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ( Figure 1.1). But the gradual reopening of economies and borders were stopped toward the end of 2021 as economies, including those in Asia and the Pacific, prevented the spread of the Omicron variant.Īs of 31 December 2021, about 69% of people in Asia and the Pacific were either fully or partially vaccinated. High immunization rate will allow gradual and steady reopening of economies, which will support strong and stable economic recovery. Immunization of a large proportion of the population remains the key policy priority for ending the ongoing health crisis and preventing the emergence of more virulent strains which may threaten the efficacy of existing vaccines. The surge in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases from the second half of 2021 as more transmissible COVID-19 variants spread underlines the importance of speeding and scaling up vaccination programs in the region. 1 Fragile, Uneven Recovery amid the Pandemic Asia and Pacific economies ramped up COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021, but remain behind other regions. ![]()
