You asked
Please can you provide me with the latest statistical numbers on vaccine deaths from the COVID-19 vaccine and the statistical number of people who have suffered adverse reactions from the COVID-19 vaccine.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Deaths registered as attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine in England and Wales up until July 2023 can be found in Table 14 of the following publication: Monthly mortality analysis, England and Wales. The ICD-10 code is U12.9, 'COVID-19 vaccines causing adverse effects in therapeutic use, unspecified'. Based on deaths registered between March 2020 and July 2023, in England, there were 63 deaths involving U12.9 and 55 deaths due to U12.9; in Wales, there was one death involving U12.9, and this was also listed as the underlying cause.
Please note that deaths "involving" a cause refer to deaths that had this cause mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, whether as an underlying cause or not. Deaths "due to" a cause refer only to deaths that had this as the underlying cause of death. Figures usually consist of first registrations only. On occasion, after further investigation, a death can be re-registered as a different cause of death. For transparency of our statistics, these figures include re-registrations as well as initial registrations.
This publication was discontinued in August 2023, hence deaths registered as attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine after July 2023 may be requested as an ad hoc data table via our bespoke services route. Such services are subject to resources, legal frameworks, disclosure controls and an agreement of costs, in line with the ONS Charging Policy. Please contact health.data@ons.gov.uk for further information.
We do not hold data relating to adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, this information is managed by the Medicines and Healthcare Product Regulatory Agency (MHRA) as part of the Yellow Card Scheme. They can be contacted at info@mhra.gov.uk.
