How many have been vaccinated so far?

It is actually a poor way of displaying the data, it looks like something I would try to do. It really needs separating out into different charts to make it easier to read. Background: I am a data engineer who can throw billions of rows of data around and make it properly queriable, I just can;t make a pretty report for st. See my daily graphs for examples of the piss poor graphs I make
I produce a summary of the bisiness up to the bank's board each month, something which has to capture the essence of the numbers that matter, and how they are changing, for quite a mixed audience. I think I'd be in line for some criticism if I included something like this. "What does 95% corrected mean?", "What's this about MDMA writen there?"Crumpet said:

Apart from the card, jabs go on your NHS patient record which you can see online via PatientAccess or the NHS phone app (not the Test&Trace one).
Hmmm, it’s sort of for this reason I don’t want it. I don’t want it on a central record which insurance companies and the like can access but I’d like the cards that say I’ve had it. Maybe I’ll look into having it abroad. Mine shows my hypertension which actually does have an impact on insurance, but only because they ask me for that information. My insurance company don't have access to my medical records.
What's concerns you about Covid vaccination being in there?

What ever happened to the novavax vaccine ?
All gone very quiet on that one, hasn't it?Northernboy said:

It isn't an appalling graph - but it contains a lot of information which takes some time to digest.

I don't agree. It uses acronms without explanation, doesn't explain all terms, and (as far as I can see) says nothing at all about the darker lines..
Hopefully others here can make use of it though.

The whole point of using a graph is to make trends and comparisons strikingly obvious. This fails to do that. It looks like the data should be split over 2 graphs, at least.

So if you're thinking of going off-grid so the vaxxers can't find you I'd recommend an upgrade first.
Remember to keep it wrapped it in foil or the vax vans will be able to track you.

Second Moderna jab today. So far just a light headache but otherwise fine. No real reaction to the first jab either other than a sore arm for a day.
What gap did you get between jabs? I got the Moderna on the first day it was available in England and the second jab is 12 weeks later in early July, so not sure how you managed to get the 2nd jab so soon - assuming you are in the UK? I know they started a week earlier in Wales/Scotland but even so wouldn’t expect any 2nd Moderna jabs for a few months.

The graph might not be pretty - but it is accurate. And it is also easy to understand. And it is updated each day. And you aren't paying for it.

It would be worth something IF you would post instead your own pretty numerical version of the same data, on a daily basis, consistently, each day of the vaccine rollout, including weekends and bank holidays.

If numerate, educated people familiar with presenting data are saying that the graph is not well done, then rather than having a strop about it, do you not think it'd be better to take the comments on board?The graph might not be pretty - but it is accurate.

It's awful.

You should get onto Twitter and tell him. I'm sure he would appreciate your thoughtful and constructive feedback.

No, I’m not going to take time out to teach everyone who can’t communicate very well how to do it better. It’s poor even for Twitter though.Hopefully others here can make use of it though.

If you don't find it useful - that's fine. From your original reply, you clearly didn't understand it and so I tried to provide you with some explanation. That's called trying to be helpful.

Lol. It was a twitter link to a professional actuary who produces some *very* insightful covid data and who produces some useful vaccine progress graphs. I posted it because I thought others on this thread might find it useful.

An actuary! Why didn’t you say? I feel so foolish now that I réalisé that that hot mess was put up be a retired actuary whose former job was presenting profits on photocopier profits in Swansea, whereas the most complex data I ever had to summarize was how I’d proved that the large hadron collider would be able to discriminate the Higgs boson from the background signal.If you don't find it useful - that's fine.

I’m clearly out of my league here, you’re obviously a proper expert.
