128,645 people have so far been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus as of June 11th. Note that “fully vaccinated” means at least two weeks have passed since receiving both vaccinations. 86,326 vaccinations are underway, while 214,971 people have received at least the first dose.

Further, plans are in motion for some 40,000 people to be vaccinated this week alone, RÚV reports.
