date

date Date of vaccination observation

total_vaccinations

double total number of doses administered. For vaccines that require multiple doses, each individual dose is counted. If a person receives one dose of the vaccine, this metric goes up by 1. If they receive a second dose, it goes up by 1 again. If they receive a third/booster dose, it goes up by 1 again.

people_vaccinated

double total number of people who received at least one vaccine dose. If a person receives the first dose of a 2-dose vaccine, this metric goes up by 1. If they receive the second dose, the metric stays the same.

people_fully_vaccinated

double total number of people who received all doses prescribed by the vaccination protocol. If a person receives the first dose of a 2-dose vaccine, this metric stays the same. If they receive the second dose, the metric goes up by 1.

total_boosters

integer total number of COVID-19 vaccination booster doses administered (doses administered beyond the number prescribed by the vaccination protocol)

daily_vaccinations_raw

integer daily change in the total number of doses administered. It is only calculated for consecutive days. This is a raw measure provided for data checks and transparency, but we strongly recommend that any analysis on daily vaccination rates be conducted using daily_vaccinations instead.

daily_vaccinations

integer new doses administered per day (7-day smoothed). For countries that don't report data on a daily basis, we assume that doses changed equally on a daily basis over any periods in which no data was reported. This produces a complete series of daily figures, which is then averaged over a rolling 7-day window.

total_vaccinations_per_hundred

double total_vaccinations per 100 people in the total population of the country.

people_vaccinated_per_hundred

double people_vaccinated per 100 people in the total population of the country.

people_fully_vaccinated_per_hundred

double people_fully_vaccinated per 100 people in the total population of the country.

total_boosters_per_hundred

double Total number of COVID-19 vaccination booster doses administered per 100 people in the total population.

daily_vaccinations_per_million

integer daily_vaccinations per 1,000,000 people in the total population of the country.

daily_people_vaccinated

integer daily change in number of people who received at least one vaccine dose.

daily_people_vaccinated_per_hundred

double daily_people_vaccinated per 100 people in the total population of the country.

daily_vaccinations_per_hundred

double daily_vaccinations per 100 people in the total population of the country.
