### Vaccination rate

The vaccination rate $\nu_{g_i}$ is the number of doses given daily to age group $g_i$ among the total population in that age group:

$$
\nu_{g_i} = \frac{\text{daily doses in group } g_i}{\text{population in group } g_i}
$$

For example, in February 2021, 425,000 daily doses were administered to the population aged 65+, with a population size of 12,730,000:

$$
\nu_{65+} = \frac{425{,}000}{12{,}730{,}000} = 0.0334
