This dataset reports the number of people vaccinated by New York providers with at least one dose and with a complete COVID-19 vaccination series overall since December 14, 2020. Currently, three COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized for emergency use by the FDA and approved by New York State's independent Clinical Advisory Task Force: one that was developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, a second that was developed by Moderna and a third that was developed by Janssen/Johnson & Johnson. New York providers include hospitals, mass vaccination sites operated by the State or local governments, pharmacies, and other providers registered with the state to serve as points of distribution. This dataset is created by the New York State Department of Health from data reported to the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) and the New York City Citywide Immunization Registry (NYC CIR).

NYSIIS and CIR are confidential, secure, web-based systems that collect and maintain immunization information in one consolidated record for persons of all ages in NYS governed by Public Health Law 2168. Health care providers are required, by law, to enter all vaccines administered to children up to age 19. Immunizations administered to adults 19 and older may be reported with consent. New York State Department of Health requires all New York State vaccination providers to report all COVID-19 vaccination administration data to NYSIIS and NYC CIR within 24 hours of administration.

Vaccination data by age is based on address data reported to NYSIIS and NYC CIR by the providers administering vaccines. Age is calculated by subtracting the dob from the date of vaccination. Note that COVID-19 vaccine availability greatly expanded for the different age groups over the period of time this dataset covers. This data does not include vaccine administered through Federal entities or performed outside of New York State to New York residents. NYSIIS and CIR data is used for age group statistics. This dataset is updated weekly.

This dataset includes weekly information about race/ethnicity categories and age groups of patients admitted for inpatient care to the hospital that are lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive.
