Thank you for your enquiry.

Deaths involving Pneumonia and/or influenza is available through our the following link to our interactive webservice: NOMIS Webservice. This has annual data from 2013 to 2019.

Influenza and pneumonia Data for 2020 is available in our Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional. We use the term "due to Influenza and Pneumonia" when referring only to deaths where that illness was recorded as the underlying cause of death. We use the term "involving Influenza and Pneumonia" when referring to deaths that had that illness mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, whether as an underlying cause or not.
