Abstract

Aim and objective: This research paper was attempted to identify the pattern of COVID-19 vaccinated people of first and second doses using machine learning (ML) methods. Settings and designs: The secondary source of COVID-19 vaccination data was collected from the National Informatics Centre (NIC), India, up to April 30, 2021, based on Census 2011 data. The original data consist of total population, first dose, second dose, percentage of the first dose, percentage of the second dose, and the cumulative percentage of the population throughout the states and union territories of India. Materials and methods: Application of Orange data mining software determines the clusters and plots of the graph of vaccination data for various states and union territories of India. The file widget opens a new vaccination data set and performs k-means++ from two to nine with silhouette distances. Results: Silhouette distance scores and cluster information are achieved. The three zones are visualized and the zones are labeled as green, blue, and red. Cluster 1 (C1) zone indicates that states and union territories are highly vaccinated, cluster 2 (C2) zone indicates that states and union territories are moderately vaccinated, and the cluster 3 (C3) zone is low-vaccinated states and union territories of India. The different colors green, blue, and red of the zones are labeled as C1, C2, and C3, respectively. Conclusion: In India, Sikkim, Tripura, Ladakh, and Lakshadweep have a low population density but fall under the highly vaccinated zones of first and second doses. Goa, Mizoram, Delhi, Arunachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Andaman Nicobar Islands have diverse population density and come in the category of low-vaccinated zones of first and second doses. Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Odisha, West Bengal, Haryana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Bihar have high population density and are considered under moderately vaccinated zones of first- and second-dose COVID-19 vaccination.
