New York State COVID-19 Vaccination Totals by Age Group

Over 1.6 million New Yorkers received at least one vaccine dose as of the dataset's final update. It reports cumulative vaccination counts by age group, compiled by the New York State Department of Health from provider reports to state immunization registries. Data collection began on December 14, 2020, and the archive was last updated on January 22, 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze age-based disparities in vaccine series completion by comparing FIRST_DOSE_CT and SERIES_COMPLETE_CNT across AGE_GRP.
• Track the cumulative rollout of first doses (FIRST_DOSE_CT) over time using the Report As Of date for different AGE_GRP cohorts.
• Model vaccination series completion rates (SERIES_COMPLETE_CNT) as a function of age group (AGE_GRP) to identify target populations.
• Monitor weekly changes in vaccination totals for specific AGE_GRP categories using the Report As Of timestamp.

Strengths

• Data sourced from official state immunization registries (NYSIIS and NYC CIR), ensuring authoritative records.
• Reports on two key vaccination metrics (first dose and series complete) across multiple age groups.
• Data collection was mandated by law, with providers required to report within 24 hours of administration.

Limitations

• Dataset is archived and no longer updated as of January 2025, limiting analysis of recent trends.
• Excludes vaccinations administered by Federal entities or given to New York residents outside the state, creating an incomplete population picture.
• Adult immunization data may be incomplete as reporting for ages 19+ requires consent.
