Age Profile of NZ Population without COVID shot (Unvaccinated) over time

Chris Johnston made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

The request was successful.

From: Chris Johnston

Dear Health New Zealand,

Please provide a machine readable dataset in csv format that shows the total number of people by age and gender that are unvaccinated with any COVID shot from 1 Jan 2020 through to the present day as at the end of each calendar month.

The columns of the dataset would be expected to include:
1) Date: Date at the end of the month with the earliest date being 31 Jan 2020. That is the first year of data will give a baseline of variation by month that subsequent years that included the vaccination programme can be compared to.
2) Age: Age from birth as at the end of the month. 0 is the age up to 364 days, 1 is from 1 year to 1 year and 364 days etc.
3) Gender: Male/Female/Unknown or Other
4) Number of People: Count of the population of people under the care/enrolled in the NZ public health system who are unvaccinated with any dose of any of the COVID vaccines. The number in this column will changes based on the variation in the enrolled population, the aging of the unvaccinated each month, deaths, and by the number of people transferring into the "COVID vaccinated" group.

Once a query has been written for one month, it should be able to be rerun for each subsequent month on a programmed loop - minimising the effort involved.

Where a cell is <5 people please populate this with "<5" for confidentiality.

Please do consult as early as possible if there are any issues or questions.

This is similar in intensity and effort to previous OIAs for data that Health NZ has successfully responded to.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Johnston

Dear hnzOIA,

A couple of additions to this request please:

1) The highest age category should be 100+
2) True zero cells should be shown - or at least not included in the dataset and not marked as <5.

Yours sincerely,
