You asked

Can I request the data for positive infections after just one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine?

Also, can I request the number of people who had first dose of AstraZeneca and then, either refused their second dose of AstraZeneca? or did not turn up? or just had a different vaccination?

We said

Thank you for your request.

1)    Can I request the data for positive infections after just one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine?

In the dataset accompanying our technical article on positivity post vaccination, on tab 1a, you can find the numbers of people who have tested positive in our survey following their first vaccine dose, broken down vaccine type.

You can find the modelled percentage of the adult population vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2 in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland on tabs 1e, 2d, 3d, and 4d respectively in the dataset accompanying our antibody and vaccination article. You can also find the official vaccination estimates on the Government dashboard.

2)    Also, can I request the number of people who had first dose of AstraZeneca and then, either refused their second dose of AstraZeneca? or did not turn up? or just had a different vaccination?

We do not hold data on individuals who refused or missed their second vaccination or took up a different vaccine type.Public Health England or NHS Digital may be better placed to assist with this query. They can be contacted via email at wn_coronavirus@phe.gov.uk and enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk respectively.
