The Indian state of Utter Pradesh reported the highest number of administered doses of the vaccine against the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of November 13, 2023. Furthermore, over 2.2 billion total vaccine doses were administered in India during the same time period.

Vaccination in India were administered since January 16, 2021, with the administration of vaccines to all health care workers in the first phase. In February, the vaccination program was expanded to cover front line workers. The second phase of the program began in March which included citizens above the age of 60 and subsequently, people above the age of 45 with comorbidities. India’s vaccination program currently includes two vaccines, namely, Oxford University – AstraZeneca’s Covidshield vaccine, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech Covaxin. Russia's Sputnik V was expected to be added to the mix starting May 2021.

From April to June 2021, the state of Uttar Pradesh in India had the highest number of measles immunizations administered, with around 795 thousand infants vaccinated. The state of Bihar and Maharashtra followed with over 500 thousand and over 381 thousand measles vaccines administered in the measured time duration.

Note: In these datasets, a person is defined as up to date if they have received at least one dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that certain groups, including adults ages 65 years and older, receive additional doses.

On 6/16/2023 CDPH replaced the booster measures with a new “Up to Date” measure based on CDC’s new recommendations, replacing the primary series, boosted, and bivalent booster metrics The definition of “primary series complete” has not changed and is based on previous recommendations that CDC has since simplified. A person cannot complete their primary series with a single dose of an updated vaccine. Whereas the booster measures were calculated using the eligible population as the denominator, the new up to date measure uses the total estimated population. Please note that the rates for some groups may change since the up to date measure is calculated differently than the previous booster and bivalent measures.

This data is from the same source as the Vaccine Progress Dashboard at https://covid19.ca.gov/vaccination-progress-data/ which summarizes vaccination data at the county level by county of residence. Where county of residence was not reported in a vaccination record, the county of provider that vaccinated the resident is included. This applies to less than 1% of vaccination records. The sum of county-level vaccinations does not equal statewide total vaccinations due to out-of-state residents vaccinated in California.

These data do not include doses administered by the following federal agencies who received vaccine allocated directly from CDC: Indian Health Service, Veterans Health Administration, Department of Defense, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Totals for the Vaccine Progress Dashboard and this dataset may not match, as the Dashboard totals doses by Report Date and this dataset totals doses by Administration Date. Dose numbers may also change for a particular Administration Date as data is updated.

Previous updates:

• On March 3, 2023, with the release of HPI 3.0 in 2022, the previous equity scores have been updated to reflect more recent community survey information. This change represents an improvement to the way CDPH monitors health equity by using the latest and most accurate community data available. The HPI uses a collection of data sources and indicators to calculate a measure of community conditions ranging from the most to the least healthy based on economic, housing, and environmental measures.

• Starting on July 13, 2022, the denominator for calculating vaccine coverage has been changed from age 5+ to all ages to reflect new vaccine eligibility criteria. Previously the denominator was changed from age 16+ to age 12+ on May 18, 2021, then changed from age 12+ to age 5+ on November 10, 2021, to reflect previous changes in vaccine eligibility criteria. The previous datasets based on age 16+ and age 5+ denominators have been uploaded as archived tables.

• Starting on May 29, 2021 the methodology for calculating on-hand inventory in the shipped/delivered/on-hand dataset has changed. Please see the accompanying data dictionary for details. In addition, this dataset is now down to the ZIP code level.

From April to June in the year of 2020-21, Lakshadweep in India had the lowest number of Pentavalent 3 vaccinations including DTP3, administered reaching just 218 infants. On the other hand, the state of Uttar Pradesh administered the vaccine to over 600 thousand infants in the same time period.

This dataset shows full, partial, and at least 1 dose coverage rates by zip code tabulation area (ZCTA) for the state of California. Data sources include the California Immunization Registry and the American Community Survey’s 2015-2019 5-Year data.

This is the data table for the LHJ Vaccine Equity Performance dashboard. However, this data table also includes ZTCAs that do not have a VEM score.

This dataset also includes Vaccine Equity Metric score quartiles (when applicable), which combine the Public Health Alliance of Southern California’s Healthy Places Index (HPI) measure with CDPH-derived scores to estimate factors that impact health, like income, education, and access to health care. ZTCAs range from less healthy community conditions in Quartile 1 to more healthy community conditions in Quartile 4.

The Vaccine Equity Metric is for weekly vaccination allocation and reporting purposes only. CDPH-derived quartiles should not be considered as indicative of the HPI score for these zip codes. CDPH-derived quartiles were assigned to zip codes excluded from the HPI score produced by the Public Health Alliance of Southern California due to concerns with statistical reliability and validity in populations smaller than 1,500 or where more than 50% of the population resides in a group setting.

These data do not include doses administered by the following federal agencies who received vaccine allocated directly from CDC: Indian Health Service, Veterans Health Administration, Department of Defense, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

For some ZTCAs, vaccination coverage may exceed 100%. This may be a result of many people from outside the county coming to that ZTCA to get their vaccine and providers reporting the county of administration as the county of residence, and/or the DOF estimates of the population in that ZTCA are too low. Please note that population numbers provided by DOF are projections and so may not be accurate, especially given unprecedented shifts in population as a result of the pandemic.

As on June of financial year 2020, the state of Uttar Pradesh had administered over one million BCG vaccinations, making it the highest number compared to the rest of India. The states of Bihar and Maharashtra followed with 566 thousand and 488 thousand BCG vaccinations respectively.

As of March 15, 2023, Seychelles was the African country with the highest coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination rate, with around 205 doses administered per 100 individuals. Mauritius and Rwanda followed with 201 and 190 doses per 100 people, respectively. Ranking fourth, Morocco had a vaccination rate of approximately 148 doses per 100 people, registering the third-highest number of inoculations after Egypt and Nigeria. In South Africa, the most affected country on the continent, the vaccination rate instead reached around 64 per 100 population.

How did Africa obtain the vaccines?

Vaccines in Africa were obtained in different ways. African nations both purchased new doses and received them from other countries. At the beginning of the vaccination campaigns, donations came from all over the world, such as China, the United Arab Emirates, India, and Russia. The United Nations-led COVAX initiative provided Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech doses to several African countries. Within this program, the continent received nearly 270 million doses as of January 2022. Moreover, the vaccination campaign has also been an occasion for intra-African solidarity. Senegal has, for instance, donated vaccines to the Gambia, while in January 2021, Algeria announced that it would have shared its supply with Tunisia.

COVID-19 impact on the African economy

The spread of COVID-19 negatively affected socio-economic growth in Africa, with the continent’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracting significantly in 2020. Specifically, Southern Africa experienced the sharpest decline, at minus six percent, followed by North Africa at minus 1.7 percent. Most of Africa’s key economic sectors were hit by the pandemic. The drop in global oil prices led to a crisis in the oil and gas sector. Nigeria, the continent’s leading oil-exporting country, witnessed a considerable decrease in crude oil trade in 2020. Moreover, the shrinking number of international tourist arrivals determined a loss of over 12 million jobs in Africa’s travel and tourism sector. Society has also been substantially affected by COVID-19 on the poorest continent in the world, and the number of people living in extreme poverty was estimated to increase by around 30 million in 2020.

In 2021, the production volume of the Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine was the highest, with over 245 million doses produced across India. By contrast, the production of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) was over 153 million doses during the same year.

The data shows the month wise stock in different categories for different medicines and medical equipment's in states of India for 2009-2010

In 2016, the highest performing states in India with an overall average immunization coverage of over 80 percent were Goa, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, Punjab, Sikkim, and West Bengal. By contrast, the lowest performing Indian states with an overall average immunization coverage of below 50 percent were Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli and Nagaland.

Seroprevalence of 67.6% is used with 765 million infectionsa from an age-adjusted population as of 14 Jun-6 Jul 2021 from the 4th nationwide serosurvey [6].

In 2016, the highest share of full immunization in India among males and females was reported in the East with 71.32 and 70.08 percent respectively. By contrast, the lowest shares of full immunization coverage were reported in North East India with approximately 51 percent among males and over 50 percent among females.

Immunization programs

In 2015, the United Nations framed the sustainable development goals, urging India as developing country to focus on vaccine-preventable diseases by providing access to universal healthcare including administration of safe vaccines to all by 2030. In response to this, the government of India launched the Intensified Mission Indradhanush in 2017 to accelerate vaccination coverage in the country. The program specifically targets infants, children, and pregnant women who are susceptible to contracting diseases.

Education

Apart from the lack of access to a nearby health care facility and the dearth in the availability of trained medical professionals, Illiteracy and lack of primary education, especially among women, are few of the other main causes of low shares of vaccination coverage in the country.

There exists a positive correlation between the level of education of the mother and the number of registered births, in the country. In addition, not only does the mother’s education level constructively impact the health and wellbeing of the family in terms of hygiene and sanitation, but more, her assertion power toward exposure to a healthcare facility for periodical health check-ups, along with a scheduled vaccination program for her children is greatly enhanced.

The highest share of MCV2 vaccination coverage in India was reported in 2022 and 2023 with 90 percent. By contrast, the lowest share of vaccination coverage was seen in 2011 with 27 percent. The figure reflects a clear increase in the immunization coverage trend with an increase in time.

The highest shares of POL3 vaccination coverage in India was reported in 2023 with 91 percent. By contrast, the lowest shares of vaccination coverage were seen in 1980 and 1981 at only two percent. The figure reflects a clear increase in the immunization coverage trend with an increase in time.
