COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Allocations by Jurisdiction for Moderna

Data from data.cdc.gov tracks weekly allocations of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses to U.S. jurisdictions. The dataset includes columns for 1st Dose Allocations, 2nd Dose Allocations, Week of Allocations, and Jurisdiction. It was last updated on June 17, 2021, and documents the federal allocation process that began following the vaccine's emergency use authorization.

Use Cases

• Analyze weekly trends in 1st Dose Allocations and 2nd Dose Allocations by Jurisdiction to model supply forecasting.
• Compare allocation volumes between different Jurisdictions for equity assessments using the Week of Allocations as a time dimension.
• Track the phased rollout schedule by correlating 1st Dose Allocations with subsequent 2nd Dose Allocations for specific Weeks of Allocations.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative data.cdc.gov platform, indicating an official public health source.
• Columns explicitly separate 1st and 2nd dose allocations, which is critical for understanding the two-dose regimen.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
