I'm not sure this is the best map on Our World in Data to use. This one seems better to me for two reasons:

  1. It includes China and Saudi Arabia rather than recording them as no data, China in particular being important.
  2. The color scheme is clearer and less confusing.

The reason for (1) is that that those two countries haven't split their analysis into first and second doses so the numbers appear in different columns of the owid data spreadsheet. The one I've indicated overcomes this.

The main aim of this graph is to identify a linear progress and this is much clearer in a monotone progression. Chris55 (talk) 09:37, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that's not the right map. It gives total number of vaccines given not the proportion of the population. A better version is on https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations but on the map tab under "What share of the population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine?". It still has the rather confusing color scheme and has missed out Saudi Arabia, though it has China. Chris55 (talk) 18:09, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Chris55. It looks like the latest version now has China. I uploaded the latest version just now. I much prefer this map to the other one:
File:World map of COVID-19 vaccination doses administered per 100 people by country or territory.png
Look at the legend. It says there are countries where there have been 140 doses given per 100 people. Most people want to know what percentage of people have been given at least one dose.
By the way, you don't need to leave a note on my talk page to get my attention. You can use the method I used to get your attention: {{u|Chris55}}

Yes, agreed this is the right measure. The use of red for the lowest countries is a bit political. The virus by and large hasn't reached sub-Saharan Africa yet tho it probably will soon and the continued emphasis on the lowest 10% means that the highest levels are not shown (or are rather coarse in others). I did make an SVG in one color before I noticed there was a map on the vaccines page in EN.
Sorry about the notification. Commons seems to work differently to WP and I hadn't worked it out. Chris55 (talk) 09:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No date on June 26 chart[edit]

The date is not showing on the latest (June 26) version of this chart 101.181.99.12 11:54, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Latest upload seems to have fixed it. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:45, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
