The first dot plot basically shows the percentage of each country’s population fully vaccinated against COVID-19. It is a select list of countries. Some countries targeted for plotting do not currently show data for the publish date in Oxford University’s Our World in Data csv file which is published daily. Therefore the data date often lags by 3-4 days to how a more complete set of countries.

In addition to the vaccination dot plot, the other dot plots show, in order:

  • At least one vaccination shot per hundred;

  • New Cases per Million;

  • Total Deaths due to COVID;

  • COVID Deaths as a percent of population;

  • the median age of the shown countries; and

  • the estimated current population of each shown country.

Several charts highlight and compare data for the United States and Canada.
