Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate she has made of the proportion of people who have died from covid-19 in the last 12 months who were unvaccinated.

No specific estimate has been made. However, the UK Health Security Agency publishes the numbers and rates of COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths by vaccination status by age for the most recent four-week period on a weekly basis. Between the week commencing 21 February 2022 and the week ending 20 March 2022, of 2,084 people who died within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test, 202 or approximately 10% were not vaccinated.
