A global database of COVID-19 vaccinations

TLDR

An effective rollout of COVID‑19 vaccinations offers the most promising prospect of ending the pandemic. The authors present the Our World in Data COVID‑19 vaccination dataset, a global public resource designed to help policymakers and researchers understand rollout rates, policy interactions, health impacts, and equity gaps. The dataset is updated regularly, contains total, first and second dose counts, daily rates, and population‑adjusted coverage for 169 countries as of 7 April 2021, and will be maintained as the campaign progresses. The tracker visualizes the scale and rate of global vaccinations, providing accessible data to scientists, policymakers, and the public.

Abstract

An effective rollout of vaccinations against COVID-19 offers the most promising prospect of bringing the pandemic to an end. We present 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. This dataset is updated regularly and 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. This resource aids policymakers and researchers in understanding the rate of current and potential vaccine rollout; the interactions with non-vaccination policy responses; the potential impact of vaccinations on pandemic outcomes such as transmission, morbidity and mortality; and global inequalities in vaccine access. The Our World in Data COVID-19 vaccination tracker charts the scale and rate of global vaccinations against COVID-19, making the data available to scientists, policymakers and the general public
