Europe has a high share of essential workers (63 million, 9%) and people with underlying conditions (266 million, 37%) who may be important to vaccinate to maintain societal function and reduce severe COVID-19 cases. Southeast Asia has a high proportion of healthy adults (775.5 million, 59%) that may be key targets for vaccination to reduce community transmission. The study highlights that based on a literature review, 68% of the global population would be willing to receive the vaccine, which translates to about 3.7 billion adults.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Wang et al.
