Turkey is ranked 10th on the list with more than 28.75 million, followed by Russia, Spain, Indonesia, and Canada.
The country with the most doses administered by population is the East African island nation of Seychelles, with 136.74 doses per 100 people.
Most COVID-19 vaccines are administered in two doses, so the number of shots given is not the same as the number of individuals fully vaccinated.
