Israel is being lauded worldwide for getting 11.5 percent of it’s population vaccinated against Covid-19 in just 12 days, more per capita than any other country in the world.

That’s three times faster than Bahrain, which has the world’s second-fastest vaccination program. The United States, by contract, has managed to vaccinate just 1% of it’s population.
