ROME — The tiny island nation of Malta says it has administered at least one coronavirus vaccine to 70% of its population to lead Europe in the inoculation race.
Health Minister Chris Fearne said 42% of Malta’s people had been completely inoculated. The achievement has led to a 95% decrease in patients being admitted to Malta’s COVID-19 hospital, he said.
With a population of about a half-million, Malta is the smallest European Union member state. It has been using the four vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency.
According to the ourworldindata.org website, Malta leads even Israel and Britain in administering at least one shot of the vaccine to its population.
Malta has reported some 30,000 cases and 417 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University tally.
