The population data in this report comes from either the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey or the bureau’s Populations Estimates Program. The specific source of the population data is specified in the footnotes of each chart, graph, or table. This report combines data from the Becker Hospital Review, an organization that reports the total doses of vaccine distributed to, and administered by, each state, and compares the distribution and administration of the vaccine among the 50 states. The Covid-19 data in this report is provided by the Utah Department of Health. The vaccine related data is for the reporting period of December 15, 2020, through June 30, 2021, and was extracted from the Utah Department of Health databases on July 2, 2021. The testing, positive case, hospitalization, and death data in this report are for the reporting period of March 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, and was extracted from the Utah Department of Health databases on July 2, 2021. Vaccinations Count of Vaccines Administered, by Day: This data set represents the doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered to residents within each legislative district. Counts are stratified by day and age group. The first category “People Received at Least One Dose” includes everyone who has received the first dose, or everyone who has received the first and second dose of a two-dose vaccine of either Pfizer or Moderna, or everyone who has received the single-dose vaccine of Johnson and Johnson. This category represents all people vaccinated in Utah whether they are fully vaccinated or partially vaccinated. The second category “People Fully Vaccinated” includes everyone who has completed their vaccine series, either two doses of a two-dose vaccine of Pfizer or Moderna, or one dose of a single dose vaccine of Johnson and Johnson. The first and second categories are not mutually exclusive and people who have completed their vaccine series will be counted in both categories. For this reason, the third category “Total Vaccines Administered” may not match the sum of the first and second categories. Testing Count of Tests Administered, by Day: This dataset represents the total number of tests that were conducted on persons residing within each legislative district. This information can be used to assess the volume of testing that occurred. The date is based on when the test was taken. This dataset includes multiple tests that were performed on the same person. Tests that returned an equivocal or otherwise inconclusive result are excluded. Positive Cases Count of Cases, by Week: This dataset represents the total number of positive COVID-19 cases confirmed of persons residing within each legislative district. The date is based on when the first positive test result was reported to public health. This dataset includes a person only once regardless of how many times that person tested positive. Case counts are also presented by age, race, ethnicity, and sex, within each legislative district. To help assess the numbers of cases within public schools, the age categories are modified to approximate the ages of children in elementary, middle, and high schools. Race groups are not mutually exclusive and do not sum to total. The definitions of the race groups are as follows: White means White alone or in combination with one or more other races Black/African means Black or African American alone or in combination with one or more American other races American Indian/ means American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination with one or Alaska Native more other races Asian means Asian alone or in combination with one or more other races Page 2 Native Hawaiian/ means Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander alone or in combination with Pacific Islander one or more other races Some Other Race means Some Other Race alone or in combination with one or more other races Hospitalizations Count of Hospitalizations and ICU Visits, by Week: This dataset represents the total number of persons residing within each legislative district that are admitted to a hospital in Utah. This dataset also includes the number of the hospitalizations that were also admitted to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). Deaths Count of Deaths, by Week: This dataset represents the total number of deaths of persons residing within each legislative district. Death counts are also presented by age groups. Census Data Margin of Error According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the American Community Survey (ACS) is based on a sample, rather than a comprehensive review all housing units and people. Consequently, ACS estimates have a degree of uncertainty associated with them, which is known as a sampling error. Generally speaking, the larger the sample size, the smaller the sampling error will be. To help users understand the impact of the sampling error on data reliability, the U.S. Census Bureau provides a margin of error for each published ACS estimate. The margin of error, combined with the ACS estimate, give users a range of values within which the actual, “real-world” value is likely to fall. For the ACS data in this report, the Census Bureau is 90 percent confident that the actual population is within the lower and upper range published in the appendix of this report. Geocoding To tabulate the data by legislative district requires each person’s home address be geocoded. We would like to thank the Utah Department of Health for geocoding the records and providing us the data by legislative district. As such, personal information remains private with the Utah Department of Health. Geocoding is the process of converting each person’s home address to XY coordinates on a map. These coordinates are then used to assign each person’s record data to the respective House and Senate districts. Not all address data were able to be geocoded (and thus not included in the datasets) for the following two reasons: Insufficient address information: A record is determined to have insufficient address information if there is no address at all or if it has unusable text (e.g., “patient refused”, unknown”, or “no home address”). Sufficient address information: Sometimes, even when a record has sufficient address information, it is still not possible to geocode the address. This is the case when, for example, the provided address does not exist. The following information for geocoding success results are presented below for vaccine administration, testing, positive cases, hospitalizations, and deaths: Total Vaccine Doses Administered • Total number of vaccine doses administered: 2,868,036 • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 2,592,091 (90.4%) ► Senate: 2,624,958 (91.5%) Page 3 People Who Have Received At Least One Dose • Total number of at least one dose: 1,581,616 • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 1,420,951 (89.8%) ► Senate: 1,439,281 (91.0%) People Fully Vaccinated • Total number of fully vaccinated: 1,408,545 • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 1,280,124 (90.9%) ► Senate: 1,296,244 (92.0%) Testing • Total number of tests: 5,092,706 • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 4,688,052 (92.1%) ► Senate: 4,732,019 (92.9%) Positive Cases • Total number of cases: 415,669 • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 402,264 (96.8%) ► Senate: 404,342 (97.3%) Hospitalizations • Total number of hospitalizations: 17,518 • Count with admission date: 15,921 Note: A total of 1,597 hospitalizations (9.1%) did not have a hospital admission date. Due to the time series nature of this data report, hospitalizations without an admission date are excluded from the data in this report. • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 15,596 (98.0%) ► Senate: 15,662 (98.4%) Deaths • Total number of deaths: 2,378 • Count of successfully geocoded records: ► House: 2,310 (97.1%) ► Senate: 2,324 (97.7%) Page 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Cover Page .................................................................................................................................................................
