Thank you for your enquiry.

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 0 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 on 20th May 2021.

Deaths within 28 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.

We therefore consider this as information not held.

You can find figures published by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) here.
