We said

Thank you for your request.

Our COVID-19 Infection Survey is a household survey that estimates the number of people testing positive for infection and for antibodies in the UK. Our statistics refer to the number of current COVID-19 infections within the population living in private residential households. We exclude those in hospitals, care homes and/or other communal establishments. In communal establishments, rates of COVID-19 infection are likely to be different.

We do not hold any data on the ingredients of the Pfizer vaccine. Your query may be better placed with UKHSA (UK Health Security Agency, previously Public Health England), who are responsible for official government data on vaccinations. You can contact them via email at informationrights@ukhsa.gov.uk. 

Further information and an overview of data about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic from the Office for National Statistic (ONS) and other sources can be found in our Coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights tool.
