Hello. Could you please update China vaccinations data since China had published new data about vaccinations.

92.1 percent of the population from the 31 provincial-level regions and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccines, 89.7 percent are fully vaccinated, and 71.7 percent have received the booster, from https://english.www.gov.cn/news/topnews/202207/24/content_WS62dc8e27c6d02e533532e666.html

Hi @Smile-L, Thanks for your report.

For the sake of accuracy, we only accept reports with absolute counts. Therefore, I am afraid these data points are inadequate for our dataset.

Note that our last data point dates from the 13th of December: 1.31 billion people vaccinated (91.68%) and 1.27 billion people fully vaccinated (89.35%). These figures come from NHC agency.

ChinaCDC had published absolute counts of booster/vaccinated/fully vaccinated people at this website: https://www.chinacdc.cn/jkzt/crb/zl/szkb_11803/jszl_13141/202301/t20230115_263381.html Could you please check if this data is suitable?
