We said
Thank you for your enquiry requesting deaths involving the COVID-19 vaccination.
Unfortunately, we would be unable to provide you with deaths involving or due to COVID-19 by vaccination status and pre-existing conditions. In order to fulfil this request, we would need use a high level of statistical skill and judgement in order to create a bespoke analysis or table. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.
However, we can provide the following information which you may find of use:
Deaths involving COVID-19 and all cause deaths by vaccination status
We have published the following release 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 Public Health Data Assent (PHDA) covers England only. We therefore do not hold information for Wales. To note, this information has been produced showing deaths within and exceeding 21 days of vaccination, rather than 14 days. This is the timeframe whereby the vaccine becomes effective.
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.

| All deaths regardless of vaccination status | 51,281 | 214,701 | 19.3 |
| Unvaccinated | 38,964 | 65,170 | 37.4 |
| Deaths within 21 days of first dose | 4,388 | 14,265 | 23.5 |
