There are some great data visualizations out there. I will highlight the ones I know about below - do you know of others?

First up is Tutohi which has been kindly shared by @nick.kemp. There has been some great work done here to use data to tell a contextual story about the comparative vaccination rates in tangata whaiora (people seeking wellness from mental illness).

Thanks @derek.b

Farah Hancock (from the RNZ series at the top) says that she is now moving her focus towards visualising the pressure on the health system. She is looking for suggestions from this group about public data sources beyond the Ministry of Health daily hospital/people in ICU numbers.

Does anyone have ideas for Farrah?

The article canvasses the reasons for immunization rates dropping fast over the last year - particularly for Maori and Pacifica. But there also appears to have been a downward trend from a high in 2015.
