About
This data product provides crucial insights into COVID-19 death rates, distinguishing between individuals based on their vaccination status. It offers the necessary context to assess the true protective impact of vaccines against the virus, allowing users to move beyond simplified or potentially misleading media headlines regarding mortality figures. The dataset is essential for exploring and quantifying the effect of vaccination programmes across the United States.
Columns
The dataset contains 8 columns detailing time periods and mortality rates for various population segments:
- Entity: Groups covered in the data, including specific age bands such as 12-17.
- Code: This column is entirely absent of data.
- Day: The specific date for the mortality rate record.
- Fully vaccinated (all vaccines): The death rate for the population designated as fully vaccinated across all vaccine types. Rates range from a minimum of 0.01 to a maximum of 15.7.
- Johnson&Johnson: The death rate specific to recipients of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine, with values ranging from 0.1 to 2.92.
- Pfizer/BioNTech: The death rate specific to recipients of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, with values ranging from 0.08 to 1.49.
- Moderna: The death rate specific to recipients of the Moderna vaccine, with values ranging from 0.03 to 0.8.
- Unvaccinated: The death rate for the population not vaccinated, showing a wide range of rates, from 0.4 up to 92.7.
Distribution
The data is supplied in a CSV file titled
united-states-rates-of-covid-19-deaths-by-vaccination-status.csv. It is structured with 8 distinct columns. The file contains 182 total records. It is important to note that while the 'Fully vaccinated' and 'Unvaccinated' rates are available for all 182 records, the vaccine-specific columns (Johnson&Johnson, Pfizer/BioNTech, and Moderna) contain data for only 26 records, meaning 86% of the entries for these specific comparisons are missing. The expected update frequency for this product is annual.Usage
This data is highly valuable for exploration, trend forecasting, and assessing the effectiveness of public health interventions. It is ideal for conducting direct comparisons of mortality rates between the unvaccinated and those fully vaccinated. Furthermore, users can compare outcomes between the specific vaccine brands, such as Moderna versus Johnson&Johnson versus Pfizer/BioNTech.
Coverage
The data covers mortality rates within the United States. The time frame spans from 10 April 2021 through to 2 October 2021. Demographic scope includes categories of vaccination status (unvaccinated, fully vaccinated, and specific vaccine types) and defined entity groups, which feature 7 unique values including age brackets.
