Hi, Thanks for the heads up on Germany data!
Quick question, a J&J administered dose would increment both fields initialDosesCumulative
and finalDosesCumulative
?
If so, I may have to change the current computation of total vaccinations administered and may indeed use t he Johnson-related columns.
No, a final dose is never an initial dose. J&J doses only count towards finalDosesCumulative
, matching the source sheet. I'll add a FAQ entry to the README to clarify this.
Clarified it here: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/covid-19-vaccinations-germany/blob/main/README.md#initialdoses-vs-finaldoses
I'm open to suggestions for better names. I had considered partialDoses
instead of initialDoses
but that sounds like half a dose is administered :| Another one that came to mind is nonFinalDoses
which has the benefit of being unambiguous, but... it sounds a bit weird.
Thanks for the clarification, @mathiasbynens.
I find your choice quite smart and simple. This way the total number of doses administered can still be obtained by means of simple addition (initialDosesCumulative
+finalDosesCumulative
).
Thanks for adding the section in the README, appreciate it.
Due to upstream changes, we had to change our data structure a bit: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/covid-19-vaccinations-germany/blob/main/data/data.csv
first
prefix have been renamed toinitial
, e.g.firstDosesCumulative
→initialDosesCumulative
.second
prefix have been renamed tofinal
, e.g.secondDosesCumulative
→finalDosesCumulative
