6. Israel
Israel is one of the countries that were worst affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, now completely free from the fatal disease. Israel has achieved this goal in quick succession. One needs to give full credit to the robust health infrastructure of the country. Ten percent of the population received their first jab of the Covid19 vaccine before January 2021. No other country in the world achieved this golden-hued goal in such shortest time. The national inoculation campaign and small size of population (only 9 million) helped the nation to enhance the momentum of the Covid19 vaccination drive. Israel contacted pharmaceutical companies which produced the Covid19 vaccines at the earliest and paid an excessive amount of money for the early procurement of the vaccine. Now Israeli government removes all the restriction and free movement of mass can be observed in various bustling towns.
