Can I request the figures for flu vaccine injuries in children including 2020 data?
Could I also ask for the Covid Deaths for last year broken down with deaths from vaccinated and unvaccinated?
We said
Thank you for your request.
Adverse reactions to the influenza vaccination in children:
We do not hold data relating to adverse reactions to vaccinations. The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority publish the Yellow Card Scheme which records self-reported adverse reactions to vaccinations. For further information on the Yellow Card scheme, please contact the on info@mhra.gov.uk.
COVID-19 deaths after receipt of vaccination:
We hold the following analysis Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status, England: deaths occurring between 2 January and 2 July 2021 which is an analysis of deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status that occurred between 1 January and 2 July 2021 in England.
The data are for England only, as vaccinations data for Wales is not yet available to be linked to the mortality dataset and the PHDA covers England only. Therefore, we consider data for Wales as information not held.
This publication includes weekly age standardised mortality rates for deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status and a detailed analysis of deaths involving COVID-19 which occurred in fully vaccinated individuals.
