Twitter discourse reveals geographical and temporal variation in concerns about COVID-19 Vaccines in the United States.

A set of 100 COVID-19 vaccine-related topics derived from Twitter between December 2020 and February 2021.

Read the full publication here.

We also release the tweet_ids of vaccine related tweets from December 2020 to November 2021 (a subset of which was used in this paper) here. You could use several tools such as hydrator to download the tweet objects.

Topics

There are two files in this data:

covidVax100US_cp

This file is used to extract topic prevalence.

  • id: auto-incremented numeric row id
  • term: unigram in topic
  • category: Numeric topic id (from 0 to 99)
  • weight: Conditional probability of the topic given the unigram, as derived through the LDA process.

covidVax100US_freq_t50ll

This file is used to visualize top words in each topic.

  • id: auto-incremented numeric row id
  • term: unigram in topic
  • category: Numeric topic id (from 0 to 100)
  • weight: Posterior likelihood

The third file acp_vaccination_rates_week.csv indicates Percentage of people who received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in each ACP community as designated by the American Communities Project. Vaccination data was obtained from CDC between December 13, 2020 and June 3, 2021 for counties and aggregated to weeks across ACP communities.

Tweet IDs

tweetIDs_FIPS.csv.zip: Vaccine related tweets and the corresponding County FIPS codes. We are unable to share the raw tweets in alignment with Twitter TOS.
