COVID-19 vaccination report data (FOI)

Request

In reference to the covid vaccination report released 7th January. Please can you provide a breakdown of symptomatic and a-symptomatic for each of the figures already shown, ie., a breakdown of unvaccinated, single dose and double dose to show if they were symptomatic or a-symptomatic? This data is collected as it’s provided within the testing data but it’s not showing anywhere within this report. 

Response

The requested information is not held in a format for the purpose of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. Data on whether a case is symptomatic or asymptomatic is taken from a live database which is constantly being updated. Data would therefore need to be manipulated in order to correlate this data with the figures referenced in the report.

Aside from taking more than the prescribed 12.5 hours to do that work, the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data in order to provide a response. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.

Article applied

Article 16 - A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations.
