Malta has taken a staggered approach to the vaccine rollout, with segments of the population being given the vaccine first based on their vulnerability status.

Just last week, the vaccine was opened up to people in their 40s, with up to 42% of that group having been administered the jab.

At this stage, over two-thirds of people in their 50s have had at least one shot, with 94% of over 50s having received at least one jab as well.
