Please could you provide the total number of deaths for any reason within 28 days of having a vaccine from the start of the vaccination roll out within the United Kingdom (December 2020) up to the date of when the data is collected for my request by the responder.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. They can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.
Deaths after receipt of COVID-19 vaccine in England and Wales:
You can find the number of deaths involving adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset. There are currently 0 deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table. This publication will be updated on 22 May 2021.
For deaths not involving adverse reactions to the vaccine, but occur after vaccination has occurred, we currently hold data on vaccination for England only and we are developing our analytical plans with an intention to publish detailed vaccination statistics soon. Once we have finalised these plans a publication date will be announced on our Release Calendar. This analysis will include all-cause mortality following vaccination. If there are any people who have died from blood clots following vaccination, they will be included in this analysis.
