You asked
I request information of all breakthrough deaths since the Covid-19 vaccination program started. So, all deaths of persons who have had one or two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine here in the UK from Jan 21 to July 21.

Thank you for your enquiry.
We are responsible for mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Therefore, we do not hold the requested data for the whole of the UK. Should you wish to obtain this data from NRS and NISRA, they can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.
We hold analysis for England and Wales showing deaths involving an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccination in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset. There are currently 4 deaths registered with the aligning ICD-10 codes for this (U12.9). However, should this change, they will be updated in this table. The latest data available is June 2021 and is updated monthly.
You may also be interested to know that we are currently working on analysis on a number of aspects of the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and mortality, including:
Information regarding deaths after COVID-19 vaccination, from any cause.
Information regarding deaths involving or due to COVID-19 after receiving COVID-19 vaccination.
The provisional release date for these publications is September 2021. Once publication dates are finalised, they will be announced on our Release Calendar.
