Incorrect Data Source for vaccinations

[macfarlaneb]

Hi,
The website used to obtain vaccination first dose, second dose, and total doses is incorrect. The numbers do not align to other NSW Health websites which provide the stats on doses.

Hi,
The first, second and total dose numbers are only for vaccinations carried out by NSW Health.
The GP network and other organizations also carry out vaccinations which are not being counted.

Troy,
The webpage you are scraping also has the following data:

NSW COVID-19 vaccination rate | Total
All providers – first doses | 85.2%
All providers – fully vaccinated | 59.2%

Can you please include these ?

I can only see that data on the daily update (eg)
https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/news/Pages/20211001_00.aspx

I'd have to generate that URL each time, test to see if it exists, and then get the data.

Is there somewhere static (ie not a changing URL) that the statistics are published?

Hi Troy, unfortunately I have been unable to find a static data source.
Thx for having a look
