International Vaccination Tracker

Thank you, the vaccine tracker is extremely insightful!

I subscribe to Bloomberg, so I frequently look at their data. Below is another tracker for anyone interested in a second global source, with an explanation of who put it together (quote found in the "about" section of the website)

"Our World in Data and the SDG-Tracker are collaborative efforts between researchers at the University of Oxford, who are the scientific editors of the website content; and the non-profit organization Global Change Data Lab, who publishes and maintains the website and the data tools that make our work possible. At the University of Oxford we are based at the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Development."

This bar graph functionality was particularly helpful to me: "Select a group of countries at once: all European countries, 30 largest countries; EU; Americas; OECD."

Agnes, love that website. It lets you do comparative looks. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=USA~FRA~DEU~ITA~GBR~SWE~ESP~AUT says a lot. I have hope again. At least hope for normalcy here, but if Europe is going to wait until they get their vaccines before they open, they will be in a world of hurt before that happens. Very revealing. Thank you again Agnes.

James, notice the missing data for some countries, including ones you're most interested in in terms of travel. It's pretty obvious why (no vaccine access yet to start inoculating people, except for Serbia it seems).

I got the impression a while back the Balkans were on the outside looking in. I suspect it is what is shaping the border restrictions (or lack thereof). Its why its important not to look at Europe as a "thing". Its a bunch of little things and each is unique in every aspect. I will get my jabs and then decide.
