COVID 19 AEFI DATA
General Description
In this project, you will be working with a set of official data on the COVID-19 epidemic in Malaysia published
on the official Github account of Malaysia's Ministry of Health.
The project will explore data related to the adverse events following immunization (AEFI) or the side effects
of the COVID-19 vaccination.
As a data analyst, you are required to process the dataset and produce the required output based on the
scenario provided.
Dataset Overview
i. The dataset is accessible at: https://tinyurl.com/MyCovid19AEFI
ii. The dataset shows the number of AEFI reports made by the public after receiving their Dose 1 and
Dose 2 of the COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 and 2022
iv. The data are presented in 32 columns. Columns named with d1_x and d2_x are the AEFIs for Dose 1
and Dose 2, respectively.
iii. Twelve (12) AEFIs are recorded in the dataset :
a. Site pain
b. Site swelling
c. Site redness
d. Tiredness
e. Headache
f. Muscle pain
g. Weakness
h. Fever
i. Vomiting
j. Chills
k. Rash
l. Joint pain
v. For this project, the following assumptions are applicable:
a. The reports made in each AEFI are unique and do not overlap
b. The dataset is updated daily. For consistency, this project will only use data between January
2021 and 30 April 2022.

Project Tasks
i. You are required to write Python code for each of the scenarios, questions or tasks mentioned in the
Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) file
ii. Each code must be written in an individual cell. But all cells are interrelated, and thus incorrect code
in any cell will affect the output of the other cells.
Note :
i. Download the provided .ipynb file and write your answer/code in the file.
ii. Rename the file following the format mentioned in Section E of this worksheet
