US State Vaccination Outliers #1652

Closed RuijingZ closed 3 years ago

RuijingZ commented 3 years ago

Daily COVID-19 Vaccinations administered on Jul 01 in us_state_vaccinations.csv for some states are weird, like Arizona and Puerto Rico, and North Carolina, which also cause 7-day smoothed has a large jump. Could you check the validity of these data?

Hi @RuijingZ, This is likely a correction from the source.

We source the data from US CDC, (see here https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/COVIDData/getAjaxData?id=vaccination_data).

We import that data with little to no processing (see our script), hence we assume that these spikes are due to data corrections in the source.

Yeah, it matches with cdc data. Thanks for the link.
