Kind of.
The problem is that the younger people in Chile, let's say 25 to 45, take little or no precautions other than those that they are forced to take in shops, bars and restaurants. Two weeks ago was the end of the holiday season when everybody flooded back to schools, work and the city.
So infections in that age group are through the roof and continuing. Consequently Chile is not seeing the benefits from the vaccination programme that one might hope, though the death rate is not rising as fast as the infection rate..
Chile has vaccinated;
'Ordinary' people down to age 59
Health workers and Teachers down to age 21
"At risk" people down to age 46
Certain professions (banks, airlines, transport companies, etc) down to age 21
Next week is "at risk" people down to 16
The week after, 22nd?, will resume 'ordinary people looking to do 2 or 3 years per day. So really that will be the larger beginning of the impact on infections. Well, subject to the lead time for immunity.
So they're getting there
