Please provide the number of people who have died within 28-days of being vaccinated please, regardless of cause of death.
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. For Scotland and Northern Ireland statistics please contact National Records Scotland and NISRA respectively.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested. We do not know when an individual has received a vaccination, as this is not supplied on the death certificate.
We would, however, know when an individual has died from an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine, as this has its own ICD-10 code: U12.9, as this would be provided on the death certificate. You can find the number of deaths involving COVID-19 in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis, these include figures for deaths involving adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination. There are currently 0 deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table.
We are currently developing our analytical plans with an intention to publish vaccination statistics soon. Once we have finalised these plans a publication date will be announced on our Release Calendar.
If you would like to discuss your request further, please contact health.data@ons.gov.uk.
