We said
Thank you for your enquiry requesting deaths and hospitalisations involving the COVID-19 vaccination in the UK.
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.
We have published the following release Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status, England: deaths occurring between 2 January and 2 July 2021. The data are for England only, as vaccinations data for Wales is not yet available to be linked to the mortality dataset and the ONS Public Health Data Asset covers England only. We therefore do not hold this information for Wales.
To note, we do not hold the requested information for England broken down by brand of vaccine, nor by 28 days specifically. This analysis shows deaths within 21 days of vaccination, as this is the timeframe whereby the vaccine is deemed most effective.
| 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 |

Number of deaths where adverse reaction to the vaccine was mentioned on the death certificate can be found in Table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset. There are currently 4 deaths registered with the aligning ICD-10 codes for this (U12.9). We do not hold this data disaggregated by brand of vaccination. The latest data available is August 2021.
