We said
Thank you for your enquiry requesting deaths by vaccination status and age for July and August.
Unfortunately, we do not hold this specific analysis. To fulfil this request, we would need to create a bespoke analysis or table. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests.
However, we have published the following release Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status, England: deaths occurring between 2 January and 2 July 2021.
| Vaccination status | Deaths involving COVID-19 | Non-COVID-19 deaths | Percent of all deaths |
|---|---|---|---|
| All deaths regardless of vaccination status | 51,281 | 214,701 | 19.3 |
| Unvaccinated | 38,964 | 65,170 | 37.4 |
| Deaths within 21 days of first dose | 4,388 | 14,265 | 23.5 |
| Deaths 21 days or more after first dose | 7,289 | 66,533 | 9.9 |
| Deaths within 21 days of second dose | 182 | 11,470 | 1.6 |
| Deaths 21 days or more after second dose | 458 | 57,263 | 0.8 |

.xls .csvWe have also undertaken analysis of the ages of the 256 Breakthrough deaths, in tables 1 and 2 of the publication.
'Breakthrough cases' are where infection has occurred in someone who is fully vaccinated. We define a 'breakthrough death' as a death involving coronavirus (COVID-19) that occurred in someone who had received both vaccine doses and had a first positive PCR test at least 14 days after the second vaccination dose. In total, there were 256 breakthrough deaths between 2 January and 2 July 2021 (Table 2). Please see the following table for this information:
| Age | Number of deaths |
|---|---|
| 0 to 64 years | 14 |
| 65 to 74 years | 25 |
| 75 to 84 years | 90 |
| 85 years and over | 127 |
