The Iowa Department of Public Health has started sharing data on statewide COVID-19 vaccine administration on the existing Iowa COVID-19 website, coronavirus.iowa.gov. Updates will be posted weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Reports will initially be static visualizations, including high-level information on vaccine administration totals, as well as county-level information.
“We are working to bring a more robust and dynamic dashboard of our vaccine progress online in the coming weeks,” said Kelly Garcia, interim director of the Iowa Department of Public Health. “Iowans can expect to see additional data points that will clearly illustrate the progress we are making in vaccinating Iowans.”
Vaccines are currently being administered to populations in the Phase 1A category: healthcare personnel and residents and staff in long-term care facilities.
“We know Iowans are eager to learn of the progress we are making in the vaccine effort, and we are committed to sharing information as we work through the stage of vaccinating this initial priority population,” Garcia said. “Stabilizing our healthcare system is paramount in our fight against COVID-19.”
As of the afternoon of Monday, Jan. 11, 96,686 vaccines have been administered in the state. Iowa is currently performing amongst the highest in the nation for administration when comparing the number of vaccines allocated to vaccines administered.
The CDC is tracking state vaccine information at covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker.
