You asked
How many people in England and Wales have died each month between December and May within 28 days of having a COVID-19 vaccine?
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We hold analysis showing the number of deaths caused by an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccination (not restricted to 28 days or first or second vaccination) in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset. There are currently 3 deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table. This publication is due to be updated later in July 2021.
The creation of data showing deaths within a certain number of days of vaccination requires complex analysis linking vaccination records to death registrations. At present, we only hold vaccination records for England. Therefore, we do not hold the requested data for both England and Wales.
However, we are currently working on analysis on all aspects of the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and mortality, which will be published soon. Once we have finalised these plans a publication date will be announced on our Release Calendar.
