Thank you for your enquiry.
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 only hold headline COVID-19 mortality figures for the UK as part of our provisional weekly deaths publication.
However, for England and Wales, numbers and percentages of deaths where COVID-19 was recorded as the sole condition on the death certificate and COVID-19 deaths by main pre-existing condition, for England and Wales, are available in our Monthly mortality analysis, England and Wales publication. The dataset can be found via the following link: Pre-existing conditions of people who have died from COVID-19. We only currently publish this information for the age groups 0-64 and 65 and over. We are required to protect confidentiality in tables death statistics and are unable to publish a further breakdown by age because of the potential disclosure risk, particularly in the younger age groups.
Figures for deaths involving adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination (not restricted to first or second vaccination) for England and Wales are available 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). Please note, this analysis is not broken down by age.
We are currently working on analysis on all aspects of the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and mortality, including:
- Information regarding deaths after 28 days of vaccination, from any cause.
- Information regarding deaths involving or due to COVID-19 after receiving COVID-19 vaccination.
This requires complex analysis linking vaccination records to death registrations. The provisional release date for these publications is August 2021. Once publication dates are finalised, they will be announced on our Release Calendar.
You can find figures for the period December 2020 to June 2021, published by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), here.
