Response
A and B
Based on deaths currently registered as having occurred in April 2021. There have been 2 deaths which occurred within 28 days of the first dose of the vaccine and 12 occurred within 28 days of a second dose. It is worth noting that the roll-out of second doses began in mid-March and second doses were the majority of doses given until mid-April.
Ages of the total deaths occurring within 28 days of first and second doses between 13 December and 30 April 2021 are as follows:

90 years or over | 15 | 6 |
Total | 57 | 28 |
To date there have been no deaths registered with any narrative referring to complications due to the COVID-19 vaccine.
