Malta has also administered booster shots to over 20 percent of its population (23.42 percent), as has Austria (22.11 percent), according to the table. Fourteen other countries have given booster shots to less than 20 but more than 10 percent of their population, with the vaccination rates being the highest in Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium, Denmark and Estonia. Less than 10 percent of the population have received the booster jab in the Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, Poland, Finland and Bulgaria. Meanwhile, the Netherlands, Croatia, Latvia and Slovakia have not supplied any data on their booster vaccination rates, according to the table.
