Abstract
<p class="first" id="d4083408e157">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.
