Data for: COVID Diaries, Part I: State Response to COVID Vaccination Program, December 2020 to September 2021

<h3>Project Overview</h3>
<p> This dataset comprises 5,223 unique documents published online on the official websites of governors’ or health departments’ offices across all U.S. states in relation to the COVID-19 vaccination program. The dataset covers the timeframe from December 2020, when states began preparing for Phase 1a of the COVID-19 vaccination allocation program, to September 2021, when COVID-19 vaccines were widely available to all adults and frequently mandated. It is a collaborative effort between the Yale School of Medicine and Yale's Tobin Center for Economic Policy. Our aim is to archive publications from State Governors and Departments of Health across 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, which researchers can utilize to assess the efficacy of communication strategies employed during this period. Ultimately, we aim to support policymakers in making more informed decisions.</p>
