The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan has vaccinated most of its population this past week, with UNICEF praising the country’s work as successful. 

Over 450,000 vaccines have been administered, equating to over 85 per cent of the eligible adult population.

After using up over the 550,000 AstraZeneca vaccines donated from India earlier in the year, Bhutan launched an appeal for donations. The United States via the Covax distributor came to the rescue, donating over half a million Moderna doses to assist the tiny country.
