Do we really want to track usage as well?[edit]

Currently, only Covaxin has 'emergency authorization, not used' in the article. Usage is very difficult to track for all vaccines, why are we adding that here?

There is a sizable list for 'authorized but not used' for a lot of vaccines especaily Novovax/Covovax and Sinopharm BBIP - very difficult to track and changing dynamically. There is also a sizable list for suspended/restricted use for AstraZenca - if we are going to track usage, we would have to add that as well.

Can we stick to being a 'List of COVID-19 vaccine authorizations'? I am currently removing usage of vaccines from this page - if you wish to reverse this, please discuss here.

Why is Valneva's vaccine not on the list?[edit]
