We said

Thank you for your enquiry regarding COVID-19 deaths by vaccination status.

We hold the following analysis Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status, England - Office for National Statistics which provides COVID-19 deaths by vaccination status from 2 January to 24 September 2021.

Table 1 provides weekly deaths registered as involving COVID-19 deaths by vaccination status of unvaccinated, deaths within 21 days of first dose, deaths 21 days or more after first dose and second dose. Table 2 provides this information for all cause deaths.

An update to this dataset is provisionally scheduled for publication in December 2021. As such, the information you have requested is considered exempt under Section 22(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, whereby information is exempt from release if there is a view to publish the information in the future. This exemption is subject to a public interest test. While we recognise the desirability of information being freely available, we also acknowledge that public authorities must have the freedom to be able to determine their own publication timetables. This allows them to deal with the necessary preparation, administration, and context of publication. Furthermore, public interest is best served through the public having confidence that the information published by ONS is accurate and final. Release on an ad-hoc basis would not achieve this aim and will cause unnecessary confusion if they were to be misrepresented. In this case, exempting the information clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
