We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

Our data on hospital episodes is obtained from the Hospital Episode Statistics published by NHS Digital with an approximately 3 month delay. We only use this data to determine pre-existing conditions and general health of individuals, therefore we do not hold analysis on recent hospitalisations due to COVID-19.

We would be unable to provide you with COVID-19 hospitalisations by vaccination status in the UK. To fulfil this request would require complex data linkage and to use a high level of statistical skill and judgement in order to create a bespoke analysis or table. 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.
