Injuries due to adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccination
ONS do not hold data regarding adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination that do not result in death.
The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority's (MHRA) role is to continually monitor the safety of any medicine or vaccine once they are approved for use. Yellow Card is a website where any member of the public or health professional can report any suspected side effect. This includes deaths, which are reported by others on behalf of the deceased person. As the information is self-reported, it means that the suspected side effects are not always proven and some of the side effects may have occurred regardless of the vaccine. MHRA are better placed to answer your enquiry, as they are responsible for the Yellow Card Scheme. They can be contacted using this form or by email on info@mhra.gov.uk
More information regarding the difference in ONS data to Yellow Card scheme data can be found in this blog. How many people have died as a result of a COVID-19 vaccine? | National Statistical (ons.gov.uk)

The Office for National Statistics COVID-19 Infection Survey (CIS) is a household survey that estimates the number of people testing positive for infection and for antibodies in the UK. Our statistics refer to the number of current COVID-19 infections within the population living in private residential households. We exclude those in hospitals, care homes and/or other communal establishments. In communal establishments, rates of COVID-19 infection are likely to be different.
You may be interested in the COVID-19 Infection Survey technical article on positivity after vaccination and accompanying dataset. This includes the number of people who tested positive in the survey after one and two dose vaccinations from 1 December 2020 to 31 May 2021. The Office for National Statistics does not hold further analysis on the number of people who are unvaccinated in the United Kingdom who have or have not had COVID-19.
