United States Vaccine Rollout Dashboard Discussion and Analysis

Spencer Wolf

Data

My data for this project was downloaded from the OurWorldInData github repository found here:

https://github.com/owid/covid-19-data/blob/master/public/data/vaccinations/us_state_vaccinations.csv

Methods

I used shiny in order to create an interactable UI that allows average people to interact with this dataset.

Results

I was able to create an app with the following features:

• 50 states selectable at the same time for comparison
• A dynamically updating table that gives stats for selected states
• A clear button to quickly wipe selected states
• An interactable plot visualization of how many people have been vaccinated in each state over time
• A tooltip to allow for detailed analysis of plot data

Getting Started

To get started I am going to walk you through using the dashboard to investigate and compare the vaccination rates of Ohio and Indiana.

1. Install packages at the top of the file and run the R code to open the dashboard.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the clear all button which is bright red.
3. Look through the select states list and select Ohio and Indiana
4. Scroll to the top of the page. You will see that the graph now contains the two states that we will be analyzing.
5. Hover your mouse over the data points to get more detailed information about each data point.
6. Look at the datatable below your graph to see detailed information on each state you have selected.
7. Click on the headers to sort the datatable by ascending (one click) and descending (two clicks).
