Kerala fully vaccinated 19.4% & partially vaccinated 32.1% of its total population.

At least 51.6% of its total population got a single jab.

77% of its population is 18 plus, which means Kerala has given a single jab to 67% of its eligible population.

Districtwise map is here

Kerala is having a tremendous job at both Malappuram & Palakkad Districts which are lagging on vaccination.

While Pathanamthitta & Wayanad are performing extremely well in vaccination

Please note that the map is shaded considering the % population who are fully vaccinated.

The figure in brackets is % of partially vaccinated.

To see the combined figure of the ones who got at least one single dose, see the 3rd column of TABLE.

Note: (Col 1 + Col 2 = Col 3)

Let me say again that I am more concerned about the fully vaccinated people as % of total population!

Because to have satisfactory protection against new variants, you need to be fully vaccinated.

Also virus doesn't discriminate based on age to attack or spread.

Why we are starting with 65 plus, then 45 plus and then 18 plus...all these are because we prioritise the most vulnerable population & we don't have enough vaccines!

Developed nations soon start vaccinate their entire population once their clinical trials are over.

That is the very reason, global COVID-19 data sites like ourworldindata.org/coronavirus are making comparisons of vaccination with the % of total population and look at fully vaccinated & partially vaccinated
