You asked
Under the freedom of information act I would like you to give me the statistics for COVID-19 deaths in care homes detailing whether or not the deceased was vaccinated, and if so which vaccine was given to the deceased.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
In order to provide you with COVID-19 deaths in care homes detailing if the deceased was vaccinated, we would need to create bespoke analysis. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.
However, deaths involving COVID-19 in care homes is included in our Number of deaths in care homes notified to the Care Quality Commission, England publication, which is updated every Tuesday. Death registrations and occurrences by local authority and health board is also updated every Tuesday, which includes care home deaths by local authority and health board.
