The Delta wave is going to hit the vaccine hesitant Ukrainians really hard.

Ukraine is at 13% fully vaccinated. Rivnenska oblast is only 10% fully vaccinated. The Donbas is only at 4% fully vaccinated. Kyivska oblast has the highest vaccination rate in Ukraine at 19% fully vaccinated. Kyiv itself is at 28% fully vaccinated.

All adults are eligible for the vaccine and it is free. There's about 11 million doses available with 16 million more available by the end of the year. Supply isn't necessarily the issue at the moment. Vaccine hesitancy is the bigger problem.

Ukraine is going back into the yellow level tomorrow. The Health Ministry is planning to institute vaccine mandates for teachers and government workers thankfully.

Vaccination by age is fairly equal across age groups, so there are a lot of high risk persons still vulnerable.

The Delta wave is not going to be pretty.
