We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately, we do not hold analysis showing deaths within 28 days of the COVID-19 vaccination. However, we are currently working on analysis on a number of aspects of the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and mortality, including:

  • Information regarding deaths after 21 days of vaccination, from any cause.

  • Information regarding deaths involving or due to COVID-19 after receiving COVID-19 vaccination.

The provisional release date for these publications is 13 September 2021. Once publication dates are finalised, they will be announced on our Release Calendar.

You can find the number of deaths involving COVID-19 (not restricted to first or second 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 4 deaths registered with the aligning ICD-10 codes for this (U12.9). Should this figure change, they will be updated in this table.

The latest data available is July 2021. This publication is due to be updated in September 2021.
