FOI 22/028
8th February 2022
Dear,
Thank you for your FOI request dated 10th January 2022.
As you know from our earlier response, we have already provided to you with links to the adverse events which have been identified as a result of our Covid Vaccine Surveillance Strategy. These links are provided again for ease of reference.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines adverse reactions - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
These reports include drug analysis prints for all vaccines currently deployed in the UK and for which we have received reports of adverse events along with the total number of adverse events reported to us. For context the estimated number of doses of each vaccine is also included.
I have considered your request for redacted reports to be prepared and sent out and I estimate that the time taken to do that for the volume of reports received would exceed 24 hours and therefore is exempted under Section 12 of the FOIA.
Kind regards,
FOI Team
Vigilance and Risk Management of Medicines Division
