Thank you for your enquiry.

We are responsible for the provision of mortality statistics for England and Wales. National Records Scotland (NRS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Therefore, we do not hold the requested data for the whole of the UK. Should you wish to obtain this data from NRS and NISRA, they can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.

In case it is of interest, we are currently developing our analytical plans with an intention to publish detailed vaccination statistics soon. Once we have finalised these plans a publication date will be announced on our Release Calendar.

You can also find the number of deaths following an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine in England and Wales via the following dataset: Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset. There are currently 0 deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table.

All cause deaths and deaths involving COVID-19  are published in our weekly deaths dataset. This data set is updated every Tuesday. However, please note, this dataset does not provide information on whether the deceased was vaccinated.
