Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) double and (b) triple vaccinated covid-19 patients were admitted to hospital in each month since March 2021; and what assessment he has made of the differences in hospitalisation rates for individuals vaccinated with the (i) Pfizer, (ii) Moderna and (iii) AstraZeneca vaccines.

Data on the number of double and triple vaccinated COVID-19 patients who were admitted to hospital in each month since March 2021 is not available in the format requested.

However, between 23 January 2022 and 13 February 2022 there were 10,222 COVID-19 cases presenting to emergency care within 28 days of a positive specimen resulting in overnight inpatient admission. Of these, 1,810 people had received at least two vaccine doses and 4,939 people had received at least three vaccine doses. No specific assessment has been made of the differences in hospitalisation rates by vaccine as this information is not held centrally.
