Weekly Cumulative Estimated Number of Updated 2023-24 COVID-19 Vaccinations Administered in Pharmacies and Physician Medical Offices, Adults 18 years and older, United States, Data Source(s): IQVIA Pharmacy and Physician Medical Office Claims

IQVIA and data.cdc.gov provide weekly cumulative estimates of updated 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered to adults aged 18 and older in the United States. The dataset tracks doses from retail pharmacies and physician medical offices, starting from the CDC's September 2023 recommendation. Data is updated weekly and includes columns for MMWR week, setting, location, and cumulative dose counts.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in vaccine uptake by plotting Cumulative_Doses against MMWR_Week_Order for specific Settings like 'Pharmacy'.
• Compare vaccination rates between different provider Settings (e.g., Pharmacy vs. Physician Medical Office) using the Doses or Cumulative_Doses columns.
• Monitor the weekly progress of the vaccination campaign by joining data on Week_ID and Location to other demographic datasets.
• Assess geographic vaccination coverage by aggregating Doses by the Location field (e.g., state-level analysis).

Strengths

• Weekly temporal granularity provided by the MMWR_Week and MMWR_Week_Order columns.
• Data covers two major vaccination provider Settings: pharmacies and physician medical offices.
• Dataset was last updated on 2024-08-28, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Data consists of estimates from claims data, not a complete census of all vaccinations.
• Sample size (row count) and total data volume are unknown.
• Limited to adults aged 18 and older, excluding pediatric vaccination data.
