This is a Twitter bot to track how far the United States are towards having most of the population vaccinated against COVID-19. The current incarnation is covid_vax_wa and tracks the US as a whole, and Washington State.
Once a weekday (or when I choose to run it), it retrieves data from the CDC COVID Data Tracker. It then extracts and tweets the percentage of the population who have received both doses of either Pfizer or Moderna and are therefore fully vaccinated.
This is a hobby project with no guarantees of accuracy. Not affiliated with the CDC.
The bot is written in F# and runs on Azure Functions using the timer trigger.
As a newbie to F#, many thanks to Scott Wlaschin for https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com. F# |> I ♥
Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft, but this a personal project with no relation to my job, which is unrelated to F# or Functions.
