Daily Trend of Vaccinations by JCVI Prioirity ...

This resource presents daily vaccinations in Scotland by JCVI priority group.

From 24/03/2022 those who are no longer living in Scotland were removed from the numerator and denominator for JCVI priority group uptake figures. On 13/03/2022 and 16/03/2022 no data were published for JCVI priority groups due to issues with processing.

On 03/12/2021, due to data processing issues, we were unable to publish the number of vaccinations for the “Unpaid Carers Aged 16 and Over' cohort today. No other data has been affected. On 22/11/2021 and 23/11/2021 vaccination events against the unpaid carers aged 16 and over cohort were under-reported.  This will affect the continuity of the data for this cohort.

On 18 November 2021 the cohorts used for the calculation of uptake figures for JCVI priority were refreshed. Because of this care should be taken when analysing trend data for JCVI priority groups pre and post 18 November. Where number of weeks (x) is referenced in the JCVIPriotiryGroup field the figures refer to those eligible for booster vaccination due to the minimum recommended number of weeks (x) having passed since 2nd dose.

‘Unpaid Carers’ JCVI priority group has been renamed ‘Unpaid Carers Aged 16 and Over’. This is a more accurate definition of the cohort. The data are unchanged.

Individuals who are on the shielding list and are residents of a care home for older adults are updated on a monthly basis. These groups will be updated on the daily dashboard and corresponding open data on the 26th of each month, or Friday before if the 26th falls on a weekend.
