Thank you for your enquiry.
COVID-19 Deaths
COVID-19 deaths are reported weekly as part of our Deaths Registered Weekly in England and Wales publication. This publication is updated every Tuesday.
As of 28th May 2021 (latest available data) there are:
138,367 registered deaths involving COVID-19
123,717 registered deaths due to COVID-19
We use the term "due to COVID-19" when referring only to deaths where that illness was recorded as the underlying cause of death. We use the term "involving COVID-19" when referring to deaths that had that illness mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, whether as an underlying cause or not.
Deaths after receipt of COVID-19 Vaccine
You can find the number of deaths involving COVID-19 (not restricted to first or second vaccination) in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset, these include figures for deaths involving adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination. There are currently 2 deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table. This publication is due to be updated in June 2021.
Adverse Reactions to the COVID-19 Vaccine
