Hi! My name is Jeremy Lee, and I'm a first year at Harvard College prospectively concentrating in Statistics with a secondary in Economics.

In your home page once you're logged in, you should see COVID-19 vaccine updates. Here, you can see recent statistics from the CDC on vaccine distribution and administration. You can also see two links: one to the CDC's data tracker and one to a WHO informative page on the COVID-19 vaccine.
You may access your profile tab once logged in, where you can view your name and email. You may also change your password as long as you verify your old password.
Here you can see data from a variety of currently distributed vaccines for diseases including tetanus, measles, and hepatitis B. By clicking on or searching for one of the vaccines, you will be brought to a page with data about that vaccine's global distribution. You may further analyze the results by filtering for particular countries or periods of time. Note that the data available only provides information from the years 1980 to 2018.
