Thank you for your request.

Our 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.

Unfortunately, we do not hold data oncoronavirus vaccinations delivered by pharmacy led sites.

NHS England may be better placed to respond to your query. They are responsible for information held on the number of COVID-19 vaccinations provided by the NHS in England. They publish data on the daily number of vaccinations that have been administered including breakdowns by dose. For further queries, NHS England can be contacted at the following address: england.contactus@nhs.net.

Further information and an overview of data about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and other sources can be found in the Coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights tool.

NHS England sound like a good should. Could you add a line explaining that they are responsible for data on NHS vaccinations and also link them to this page https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-vaccinations/
