Project 1 - COVID-19 Vaccinations Trend Analysis
Country-Vaccination
COVID-19
Aim:
Vaccines do not give you the virus, rather it teaches your immune system to recognize and fight the infection. The Covid-19 vaccine presents the body with instructions to build immunity and does not alter human cells.
Introduction:
- Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
- A novel coronavirus (covid-19) was identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. This is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans.
- Covid-19 is spread by dust particles and fomites while close unsafe touch between the infector and the infected individual.
- Covid-19 has reached to more than 50 nations, including China, and has caused WHO to call a disease a worldwide pandemic. 18,738,58 laboratory-confirmed cases recorded as of 2nd week of April 2020, the maximum number of cases (77.8%) was between 30 and 69 years of age. Among the recorded cases, 21.6% are farmers or employees by profession,51.1% are male and 77.0% are Hubei.
Problem Statement:
Most people are vulnerable to Covid -19, and this novel corona virus can affect people with low or normal immunity. People with low immunity, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and patients with chronic disease, are prone to severe acute symptoms after contracting Covid-19.
Methodology:
Viral vector Covid-19 vaccines are given in a muscle in the upper arm. The vector virus in the vaccine is not the virus that causes Covid-19, but a different, harmless virus. It enters the muscle cells and uses the cells machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called a spike protein.
Analysis:
After analyzing the country-Vaccination dataset more vaccines are from Johnson & Johnson, Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Sinopharm/Beijing.
Insights:
The pandemic has prompted introspection in our personal and professional lives. Many of us have become aware of how much we need other people-many have managed to maintain their social connections, even if they had to use technology to keep in touch.
“There’s no doubt that it’s not enough, but even that type of community has helped people.”
Recommendations:
Keep physical distance of at least 1metre from others, even if they don’t appear to be sick. Avoid crowds and close contact. Wear a properly fitted mask when physical distancing is not possible and in poorly ventilated settings. Clean your hands frequently with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Conclusion:
The coronavirus disease continues to spread across the world following a trajectory that is difficult to predict. It is very important to prevent the spread in the society. The main points in preventing the spread in society are hand hygiene, social distancing and quarantine.
