The acceleration has been clear, and Luxembourg is no longer seen as a straggler.
While it was still lagging behind its neighbours a few weeks ago, the Grand Duchy has stepped up its vaccination campaign and is now in line with the EU average.
According to the ECDC, as of Sunday 4 April, the vaccination rate had reached 16% of the adult population of Luxembourg for the first dose. At the end of February, the country was following a similar pace to the Greater Region but was still lagging behind the rest of the continent.
On the other hand, the country is still well behind for the second dose: 4.9% as of 4 April. Only four countries are slower than Luxembourg.
