On Wednesday, a total of 16,715 people were vaccinated against Covid-19 in Latvia, of whom 5,703 received the first dose of the vaccine, and 10,483 - the second dose, but 1081 people were vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires only one dose. Previously the highest number of second doses was administered May 14, when the figure was 8,410.
The number of people vaccinated in recent days could increase, as not all medics report data on their vaccines to the National Health Service on the same day that the patient is vaccinated.
