Allegheny County COVID-19 Vaccinations

COVID-19 Vaccination data as reported by the County's health department. On May 19, 2023, with the rescinding of the COVID-19 public health emergency, changes in data and reporting mechanisms prompted a change in the municipal counts. Data attributes listed as 'Archive Only' within the below description are reflected only in data prior to May 19, 2023. These files are maintained as 'Archive' files within this repository.

This dataset contains 3 tables:

  1. Allegheny County COVID-19 Vaccine Individual Data: Contains vaccination information on an individual level for all three vaccination statuses
  2. Allegheny County COVID-19 Vaccine Municipal Data: Contains counts of bivalent booster vaccinations for all neighborhoods in Allegheny County
  3. Allegheny County COVID-19 Vaccine Historical Municipal Data: Contains historical counts for each vaccination status for all neighborhoods in Allegheny County up through May 2023, then limited to counts of bivalent booster vaccinations following this cut-off.

Types of Vaccination Status:

  1. Partially Vaccinated [Individual and Archive Only]: If an individual has not completed their primary series with either 1 of 2-dose series or 2 of 3-dose series for children under the age of 5 years
  2. Completed Primary Series (formerly Fully Vaccinated) [Individual and Archive Only]: If an individual has completed their primary series with the 1-dose J&J series, 2-dose series, or 3-dose series for children under 5 years.
  3. Bivalent Booster: If an individual has obtained their bivalent booster dose.

Due to minor discrepancies in the Municipal boundary and the City of Pittsburgh Neighborhood files individuals whose City Neighborhood cannot be identified are be counted as “Undefined (Pittsburgh)”.

Data Notes

Demographic, municipality and neighborhood information for vaccinations are reported on a weekly schedule and are not included with individual vaccinations. This has been done to protect the privacy and security of individuals and their families in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). New datasets were published (starting 5/7/2023) to account for the expanding eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine and the introduction of the bivalent booster dose.

On May 19, 2023, with the rescinding of the COVID-19 public health emergency, changes in data and reporting mechanisms prompted a change in the municipal counts. Municipal counts of partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated individuals are reflected only in data prior to May 19, 2023. These files are maintained as 'Archive' files within this repository. Bivalent booster counts remain the only field shared as weekly counts by municipality. Individual datasets are unaffected.
