Thank you for your enquiry.

For deaths involving COVID-19 or all cause deaths after receipt of the COVID-19 vaccination, we hold the following analysis Deaths by vaccination status, England which is an analysis of deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status that occurred between 1 January 2021 and 24 September 2021 in England, but unfortunately not by variant.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the analysis of the data requested. In order to complete this request we would need to complete complex data linkage to NHS COVID-19 vaccination data with census and mortality data. This requires a high level of statistical skill and judgement and extensive quality assurance. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.

If you would like to discuss your request further, please contact health.data@ons.gov.uk.

Because you have stated a report shows Public Health England (PHE) data tables, we would recommend directing your request to UK Health Security Agency who have replaced PHE.
