You asked
I would like to make a Freedom of Information request regarding the number of child deaths after having had the covid -19 vaccine?
The number of unborn baby deaths in the womb due to mothers having taken the covid-19 vaccine?
This would be from when the vaccinations started in 2020 up until the present day.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We have interpreted your request for 'child deaths after having had the COVID-19 vaccine' as deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccination.
You can find the number of deaths attributed to adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination in table 12 of our Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset.
There are currently 15 deaths registered in England and Wales with the aligning ICD codes for this, 10 of these deaths have ICD10 U12.9 as the underlying cause. Due to the small numbers involved, we are unable to provide any further disaggregation of this data, however, please note that these are deaths across all age groups since the rollout of the vaccination in December 2020 and there are no deaths registered under the age of 35.
We do not hold information on still births by vaccination status. NHS Digital may be better placed to answer this enquiry. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk, and by telephone at 0300 303 5678.
