Dear OIA Requests,
I fail to see the vaccination status of deaths where COVID 19 is officially coded as the underlying cause on the Ministry of Health website.
Ministry of Health provide the age & vaccination status of deaths within 28 days of being reported as a case. The total deaths in this category are currently 3864. Where Covid 19 is the underlying cause of deaths only the age & ethnicity is provided. The total deaths in this category are currently 1599.
I would like to know the vaccination status where COVID 19 is officially coded as the underlying cause. Please advise the status of:
No dose of Covid 19 vaccine
Single Covid 19 vaccinated
Fully Covid 19 vaccinated
Booster Covid 19 vaccinated
Yours sincerely,
N Brittain
