Differences in vaccination figures about covid19-data HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi Lucas,

Thank you for opening this issue. As far as I know, these two datasets are from two separate data sources.

• Numbers in OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_Regions.csv are reported by vaccination sites as a daily aggregate. This source is missing information from GPs hence the difference.

• Data in OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_AgeGroup_District.csv is more relevant, because it is calculated from patient level data, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could use this source instead of the first one.

@KristianSufliarsky - any reason in particular why general practitioners are missing in OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_Regions.csv? NCZI obviously has this data, they are publishing it as well... what source are you using if not NCZI? If this OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_Regions.csv is incorrect, why are you publishing it at all?

OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_AgeGroup_District.csv seems to be contain weekly (and not daily) aggregate data, without any differentiation to weeks from 2021 and 2022, unless week 54 is actually the current week 2. One other thing, in dose column you have values 1, 2, 3 and fully, while doses_administered shows cumulative number for these. What is the difference between dose 2 and dose fully in case of Comirnaty (or Moderna)? And what is age group NA? Like you have to have age known at time of vaccination (it is used in registration, it is also seen in ID card at vaccination reception etc.).

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the clarifications, we will switch the source for Slovakia and will be using OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_AgeGroup_District.csv.

Week represent number of weeks from the beginning of vaccination.

@KristianSufliarsky Could you provide a pointer to which is the reference day for this computation? I.e. the date that the vaccination campaign started.

Thanks!

@lucasrodes Slovakia not Slovenia, just to avoid more misunderstandings :)

An example of dubious data from OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_AgeGroup_District.csv:

...
"week";"vaccine";"gender";"AgeGroup";"region";"district";"district_code";"dose";"doses_administered"
...
43;"COMIRNATY";"M";"5-9";"Bratislavský";"Bratislava";"SK0101";"fully";1
45;"COMIRNATY";"M";"5-9";"Žilinský";"Žilina";"SK031B";"fully";1
46;"COMIRNATY";"F";"5-9";"Košický";"Košice";"SK0422";"fully";1
46;"COMIRNATY";"F";"5-9";"Prešovský";"Prešov";"SK0417";"fully";1
46;"COMIRNATY";"F";"5-9";"Žilinský";"Žilina";"SK031B";"fully";1
46;"COMIRNATY";"M";"5-9";"Prešovský";"Prešov";"SK0417";"fully";1
...

Weeks 43-46 were weeks from ~25th October up to ~21st November. EMA had recommended approval for Comirnaty vaccination for age group 5 to 11 years old ~25th November.

So what is this, please?

@mhudec reasoning behind this issue is that they is no regulation that will make GPs report this data into this data source (ISZI), and they aren't so keen on doing that.
To answer your second question, NCZI are publishing data which are processed by me or rather script I did and as I mentioned previously OpenData_Slovakia_Vaccination_AgeGroup_District.csv is the one that is published officially daily (even GPs).
Week represent number of weeks from the beginning of vaccination.
Value fully means that a person is considered fully vaccinated which means that it takes 2 shots and 14 days from second dose and in case of JnJ 1 dose and 21 days.

And if you have any questions about this dubious data, feel free to contact NCZI since they are owner of this data, and they are responsible for their quality and even if I would know that something is not correct in this db I don't have write rights. So the only thing I can do is tell them that there is an issue. But to answer his particular problem, vaccination in special cases was allowed under the age o 11 before 25th of November.

I tried to answer all of your question, so I consider this issue closed.

Thank you, @KristianSufliarsky.

So basically records for e.g. Comirnaty dose "2" in week X move to dose "fully" in week X+2, right?

Regarding NCZI, who can be contacted regarding this data, please? Generic NCZI mails are no go (I've reported several issues with PowerBI data using those channels, unfortunately there was no response).

Week represent number of weeks from the beginning of vaccination. means first calendar week of 2021 as far as I know , but let us @KristianSufliarsky to confirm that
