​Thank you for your enquiry.

Whilst we hold information on hospitalisations, we do not hold any analysis on this data. In order to provide this information, we would need to create complex analysis. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information to respond to requests. We therefore do not hold this information for FOI purposes.

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) would be better placed to answer your enquiry. They publish a weekly surveillance report which looks at the impact on hospitalisations, infection, vaccine effectiveness and mortality. They can be contacted on InformationRights@UKHSA.gov.uk
