Thank you for your request.

The COVID-19 Infection Survey is a household survey that estimates the number of people testing positive for infection in the UK. Our statistics refer to individuals in the community, by which we mean private households. These figures exclude infections reported in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings.

You can find the number of coronavirus (COVID-19) infections after second vaccination and this number as a percentage of the double vaccinated population on tab 1a in the dataset accompanying our technical article on positivity after vaccination.

Unfortunately, we do not hold hospitalisation data. Public Health England may be better placed to assist, they can be contacted via the following email wn_coronavirus@phe.gov.uk.

You can find the official vaccination estimates on the government dashboard. You can also find the modelled percentage of the adult population vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2 in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland on tabs 1e, 2d, 3d, and 4d respectively in the dataset accompanying our antibody and vaccination article.
