China has stepped up its vaccination programme, giving out 100 million shots of its Covid-19 jabs in the span of just five days last month.
After a slow start, China is now doing what virtually no other country in the world can: Leveraging the power and all-encompassing reach of its one-party system and a maturing domestic vaccine industry to administer shots at a staggering pace.
The rollout is far from perfect, including uneven distribution, but Chinese public health leaders now say they are hoping to inoculate 80% of the population of 1.4 billion by the end of the year.
As of Wednesday, China had given out more than 704 million doses with nearly half of those in May alone.
