International COVID-19 Data and Vaccine
Distribution: Selected Resources
August 25, 2021
The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread to nearly every country
worldwide, causing millions of cases and deaths as reported to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The resources below provide information on tracking the international spread of the virus and global
efforts to contain it through vaccine distribution, tests, and treatments.
These resources are not a comprehensive list of COVID-19 international data sources. Rather, they are a
starting point that may help congressional staff find resources for frequently requested data. Some links
may work best with the internet browsers Chrome or Firefox.
Readers may consider using caution when comparing data across sources, time frames, and geographies,
as each resource may have differing methodologies and definitions that may change over time. For
assistance in interpreting or analyzing these data, congressional staff may reach out to the Congressional
Research Service (CRS) (202-707-5700, or place a research request at the CRS website).
For more information concerning the current state of vaccine distribution, please see CRS In Focus
IF 11796, Global COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution, coordinated by Sara M. Tharakan; for an overview of
data resources concerning COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States, please see
CRS Report R46642, COVID-19 Cases, Hospitalizations, and Deaths: Selected Resources for National,
State, and Local Data, by Angela Napili and Ada S. Cornell.
