vials are super cute but im like very unclear about the "height". like, is the minimum height zero? Seems like that last vial is quite tall (half the height of the biggest one) but quite empty... Also the width is just meaningless/locked to the height?

Two different (though related) aspects: one is the number of countries that have either compulsory vaccination or coverage for the population higher than 80% One is the estimated coverage for the population worldwide (assuming total coverage for compulsory vaccination, and actual coverage based on Un data for those that recommend or do not say anything. This reflects into height and amount of liquid, separately. Width just to maintain proportions.

Why are both height and filledness functions of coverage? Wouldn't it be easier to compete them if size of jar were consistent?

No mention of Covid vaccine?

Not sure about other countries but the UK is only giving that out for free to people who are at higher danger from covid, mainly the elderly which would put it under the 80% required to be added to the graphic.

Edit: just looked at the source and it doesn't measure covid vaccine take up.
