More people have now been vaccinated against Covid-19 than have been infected by the virus that has swept the globe over the past year, Reuters reported, quoting data.

According to University of Oxford-based Our World in Data, a total of 104.9 million vaccine doses have been administered, and the latest data on Wednesday from the US-based Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. The total vaccinated now exceeds the 104.1 million Covid-19 cases of infection in a Reuters global tracker.

Despite the landmark data, it remains unclear how long it will take to vaccinate the world. Many of those vaccinated have received only one of two doses required.
