Our World in Data clarifies that the ranking “counts as a single dose and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regimen (e.g. people receive multiple doses)”. However, in the case of Argentina, which currently uses the Sputnik V vaccine developed in Russia, one dose per person is being given, the first of the two planned for immunization.
