And according to this site...

prortugal vaccination rate - Google Search

84.7% fully vaccinated as of 10/5...

And Denmark? 85.6%

As fun as this back and forth is to watch, this can be put to bed if you would read the information on the page to see what the numbers represent.

According to the information on the pages, Portugal has fully vaccinated about 98% of those 18 and above. However, there are also people living in Portugal who are not yet 18 and if you consider those individuals, Portugal has vaccinated approximately 87% of the entire population.
