Vac: SG: Singapore Total Vaccination Values are not recorded #2759

Closed Leonaides96 closed 1 year ago

Leonaides96 commented 1 year ago

Hi Team.

I have some doubt on the below line:

https://github.com/owid/covid-19-data/blob/f197c123370b563c379ac43577dfc39e04b04aed/scripts/src/cowidev/vax/batch/singapore.py#L100

Is there any reason the Total vaccination is not calculated and recorded as NA instead?

Hope can have your quick reply on this issue.

Thanks and regards, Leonaides

Hi @Leonaides96, Thanks for your message and checking!

Singapore has stopped reporting data on the number of booster doses administered. Previously, they shared a file named "progress-of-vaccine-booster-programme.csv" at https://storage.data.gov.sg/covid-19-vaccination/covid-19-vaccination.zip, which had this data.

Now, without this data, we cannot estimate the number of total doses.

I reached out to them to see if they plan to report data on boosters back again, but I still haven't heard from them.
