  Social media platforms provide actionable information during crises and
pandemic outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a chronic public health
crisis worldwide, with experts considering vaccines as the ultimate prevention
to achieve herd immunity against the virus. A proportion of people may turn to
social media platforms to oppose vaccines and vaccination, hindering government
efforts to eradicate the virus. This paper presents the COVID-19 vaccines and
vaccination-specific global geotagged tweets dataset, GeoCovaxTweets, that
contains more than 1.8 million tweets, with location information and longer
temporal coverage, originating from 233 countries and territories between
January 2020 and November 2022. The paper discusses the dataset's curation
method and how it can be re-created locally, and later explores the dataset
through multiple tweets distributions and briefly discusses its potential use
cases. We anticipate that the dataset will assist the researchers in the crisis
computing domain to explore the conversational dynamics of COVID-19 vaccines
and vaccination Twitter discourse through numerous spatial and temporal
dimensions concerning trends, shifts in opinions, misinformation, and
anti-vaccination campaigns.
