I am emailing a Freedom of Information request regarding the number of deaths because of any Covid 19 vaccination in the United Kingdom since January 2021.

We said

Thank you for your request.

We are responsible for the production of Mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. They can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.

You can find the number of deaths attributed to adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset.

There are currently 9 deaths registered in England and Wales with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table. The latest data available is September 2021, with October's analysis due to be published on 23November 2021.  

If you have any further enquiries, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.

UK Health Security Agency also publish a weekly surveillance report which looks at the impact on hospitalisations, infection, vaccine effectiveness and mortality.
