​How many deaths have been recorded within 21 days of taking a COVID-19 jab since January 2021 in the UK

We said

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.

Deaths after receipt of COVID-19 vaccine

You can find the number of deaths involving COVID-19 (not restricted to 28 days after vaccination) in table 12 of our monthly mortality analysis dataset, these include figures for deaths involving adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination. There are currently two deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table.  This publication will be updated in June 2021.

Deaths within 21 days of the vaccine

This information requires complex analysis linking vaccination records to death registrations. We are working on analysis on all aspects of the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and mortality, which will be published in June. Once we have finalised these plans a publication date will be announced on our release calendar.
