Currently, of all the vaccination signals, county-level data is only available for `people_full_vaccinated`. Until 2021-11-15, several states reported vaccinated people not allocated to any individual county. These unallocated counts were reported using a FIPS code ending with `000` for that state, which is never a FIPS code for a real county.

There are many high-visibility data notes from the CPR spreadsheets that explain corrections like decresases in cumulative values for state/HHS/national counts. For example 'On 02/09/2022, SC issued corrections to their vaccination data, resulting in negative values for those initiating vaccination ages 65+.' These can be accessed through the first tab on downloaded CPR worksheets from relevant date ranges (if available)

This data source is susceptible to large corrections that can create strange data effects such as negative counts and sudden changes of 1M+ counts from one day to the next. Many of these corrections are documented in the "High-Visibility Data Notes" section in the first tab of the CPR spreadsheet for that day. To locate the correct spreadsheet for some `time_value` R, consult the following table:
58+
59+
| Signal type | CPR date |
60+
| - | - |
61+
| Hospital Admissions | usually R+2, sometimes R+1 |
62+
| Vaccinations | usually R+1, sometimes R+2 |
63+
64+
Not all CPRs have the same lag between the CPR date (listed in the filename) and the date for a particular signal.
