Update vaccination map and possible inclusion of Economist mass coverage map
Would the map showing the percentages of people vaccinated benefit from moving towards using colour coding solely to illustrate the information? The exact details can be accessed on WikiCommons and the map looks rather cluttered at the moment. The flip side to this is that the map would look rather sparse currently but just thinking longer term
Also, this map from The Economist showing when countries will likely start full scale vaccination programmes may well be a good inclusion to the article. Here’s the link (it may be behind a paywall) https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/01/28/vaccine-nationalism-means-that-poor-countries-will-be-left-behind MaStabbo (talk) 13:57, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- I support replacing the current visuals. OWID has great SVG visuals that are CC licensed. Their map of percentage of population fully vaccinated would be great. Timeshifter previously proposed using a graphic from Our World in Data (in this thread) but we weren't sure who would handle the regular updates. - Wikmoz (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
It only takes a few seconds to upload a new version of this map below. Don't be shy. Anybody can do it. Click the download link at the Our World in Data page for the map. Download to your PC desktop, etc.. Then near the bottom of the Commons page for the map click "Upload a new version of this file". Browse to the image file on your PC. Click "Upload file". Since this is a new version of an existing file on the Commons you don't have to enter any text before clicking "Upload file". Once uploaded click Ctrl-F5 if you are using the Firefox browser. This will clear all caches of the map on your PC and pull up the new version. Here is the latest version:
- File:World map of COVID-19 vaccination doses administered per 100 people by country or territory.png
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/World_map_of_COVID-19_vaccination_doses_administered_per_100_people_by_country_or_territory.png/400px-World_map_of_COVID-19_vaccination_doses_administered_per_100_people_by_country_or_territory.png)
By the way, the above map is the PNG version. It looks better than the SVG version. There is a bug in the Wikimedia software or at OWID that makes the text and logo on the top line overlap. It looks weird, and covers the date. The date is very important. OWID knows of the problem. Go to the SVG version on the Commons to see the problem. --Timeshifter (talk) 20:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
I would like to add the following content to the Wikipedia page related to covid-19 vaccines under the section "Efficacy".
According to the NY Times [1] most of the vaccines that have been approved up to now (from Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Astrazeneca, J&J) protect against hospitalization and death for most of the Covid19 variants that have been discovered up to now.
Thanks!
Cheers, Mauro Smartasso (talk) 13:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- There's already a section in the article that outlines that in more detail. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I suggest to add the approval of Sinovac's EUA in the Philippines sourced ty. 136.158.33.44 (talk) 06:23, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Ukraine emergency use approval
Hi, as of 23 February 2021, Ukraine has approved the Oxford University-AstraZeneca (Covishield) vaccine [1] and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for emergency use, following the delivery of 500,000 doses of the former on the same day.
I have a news source for the Oxford-AstraZeneca approval, however the only valid source I have for the Pfizer-BioNTech is via Ukrainian state television, so if you could find a source on the internet that would be great.
Thanks very much, MBihun (talk) 19:23, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Maps for vaccine approval
I've created maps showing the countries each vaccine has been authorized in, divided by type:
- File:COVID-19 adenovirus vaccines authorization map.svg
- File:COVID-19 RNA vaccines authorization map.svg
- File:COVID-19 inactivated vaccines authorization map.svg
These maps can be updated in a text editor; there is a list using ISO country codes a little ways down from the top. When uploading, please overwrite the old file rather than creating a new version. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 01:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
About the vaccine approval map
Please note that Taiwan has its own Food and Drug administration and it has not approved China's inactivated-virus vaccines. The map shows that Taiwan has approved both, and this piece of information is inaccurate. Taiwan's authorities have only authorized the Astrazeneca-Oxford Adenovirus vaccine. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocprcr (talk • contribs) 11:59, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
these maps are very nice, would you add an "Other vaccines" map too, with vaccines that at the moment can't be grouped with other approved ones (only epivaccorona as of Feb 26)? SquallLeonhart_ITA (talk) 10:40, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Waive of patents
Hello! I wanted to propose adding to the first paragraph a reference to the request for the waive of patents made by some countries. For me, it would be nice to add something like this:
At the WTO, a group of developing countries led by India and South Africa and with the support of MSF are calling for the temporary suspension of patents for COVID-19 vaccines for the duration of the pandemic. This request is opposed, among other countries, by the majority of the members of the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom. Some references about it: WSF The Guardian DW Catholic News Service
It would also be good to add this paragraph in the introduction of COVID-19 pandemic, I think it deserves that level of importance. I would like to accept writing suggestions as English is not my first language.Verent (talk) 16:24, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
