COVID-19 vaccination

16 June 2022

Dear

ATISN 16382 – COVID-19 Vaccination Data

Thank you for your request to the Welsh Government for information under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) received on 08 June 2022 regarding COVID-19 vaccination data.  You requested the following:

• To provide the data on the number of persons in each eligible group who are classified as unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated in Wales.
• How many unvaccinated persons in each group who have qualified for a NHS COVID pass.

Our response

Welsh Government does not hold information that falls into scope of your request.

We do not hold data that is specific to unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated but we are aware that Public Health Wales regularly publishes data on numbers vaccinated which you may find helpful. Rapid COVID-19 virology - Public | Tableau Public

With regards to the NHS COVID Pass, we do not hold information on unvaccinated persons who qualify for a COVID Pass, as the qualifying criteria is not straight forward, for example you can get a NHS COVID Pass by recording a positive PCR Test, even if you have not had a vaccination.

Next steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response.  Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:

or Email: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:  Information Commissioner’s Office,

However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.
