A team of researchers in the UK has developed the Our World in Data COVID-19 vaccination dataset, a global public dataset that tracks the scale and rate of the vaccine rollout across the world. The dataset includes data on the total number of vaccinations administered, first and second doses administered, daily vaccination rates and population-adjusted coverage for all countries for which data are available (169 countries as of 7 April 2021). It will be maintained as the global vaccination campaign continues to progress. Vaccination data are updated daily and are made available via two channels. First, all data and scripts used for data collection are published and updated in their public GitHub repository. To allow journalists, researchers, policymakers, and the public to understand the evolution of the global COVID-19 vaccination rollout, they made the data explorable at their online web publication They provide interactive visualizations of all available vaccination metrics to enable users to track and compare the vaccination campaigns around the world. ..read more.
