Can you please confirm if the data of adverse reactions and deaths related to the AstraZeneca vaccine and Pfizer vaccine is available? If not, why? And when will this data be available?

Thank you for your enquiry.
Deaths after receipt of COVID-19 Vaccine
ONS Data is derived from the death certificate, and unfortunately, the brand of the vaccination is not recorded as part of the death certificate. Therefore, we consider this information not held.
You can find the number of deaths involving COVID-19 (not restricted to first or second vaccination) in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset, these include figures for deaths involving adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination. There are currently 2 deaths registered with the aligning ICD codes for this. However, should this change, they will be updated in this table. This publication is due to be updated in June 2021.
You can find figures published by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) here.
