You asked
How many people in the United Kingdom have died within a 28 day period after receiving any of the Covid 19 vaccines?
We said
Thank you for your request.
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 hold the following analysis: Deaths by vaccination status, England. This analysis analyses deaths within 21 days of receiving a vaccine and 21 days or more after vaccination. We have used 21 days after vaccination, as this is when the vaccine starts to be effective.
The dataset covers weekly age-standardised mortality rates and age-specific rates for deaths involving COVID-19 and all deaths by vaccination status between the 2 January and 24 September of 2021.
We do not hold analysis showing deaths within 28 days of receipt of the vaccine.
