FOI Ref: ​FOI/2021/3088

You asked

I would like to receive Covid 19 deaths data split between vaccinated and unvaccinated status from 2 April to date via email, subject to the below additional request, which would be preferable.

You used to publish this data on your weekly briefings but for some reason have eliminated this in the recent briefing (#24).

I would like to know why?

I would like this data to be included in your insight's pages, which is excellent by the way, such that I don't need a separate email.

We said

Thank you for your request.

We believe that the 'recent briefing (#24)' you mention in your request refers to Public Health England (PHE)'s COVID-19 vaccine surveillance reports, as opposed to ours. Therefore, we do not hold the requested information. For information about this report, please contact the UK Health Security Agency

In case it is of interest, we hold the following analysis: Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status, England. This provides deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status that occurred between 1 January and 24 September 2021 in England.

The data are for England only, as vaccinations data for Wales is not yet available to be linked to the mortality dataset and the PHDA covers England only.

Therefore, we consider data for Wales as information not held.

This publication includes weekly age standardised mortality rates for deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status and a detailed analysis of deaths involving COVID-19 which occurred in fully vaccinated individuals.

This information has never been part of our Weekly deaths publication, this is new publication released as a Statistical bulletin when the analysis is completed. Future releases will be announced on Release Calendar.

If you have any further enquiries, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
