Please provide me with the following information which I presume is stored and classified according to each of the seven health boards?
I am asking for this data presented either as a whole or yearly from 2019-2024.
Total Covid vaccination uptake as a percentage of the population, specifying the percentage/s as first time vaccines and subsequent ‘boosters’.
The number of excess deaths for each of the health boards. The definition of ‘excess deaths’ is a reference to the number of deaths that occur above (or below) what would be expected under normal circumstances.
Thank you for your recent request.
Please find below the information requested for total vaccination uptake that is held by Public Health Wales.
Please note this information is from 8th December 2020 – 28th February 2025, as this is when COVID-19 vaccines were administered to the majority of the population as a primary course (first and second dose) and a booster dose.
Excess Deaths data broken down by Health Board for 2020 – 2023 is available here - Death registrations and occurrences by local authority and health board - Office for National Statistics
Further deaths information can be found here:
Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional - Office for National Statistics
The COVID mortality dashboard can be found here for deaths between 2 March 2020 to 27 Sep 2024:
