SUMMARY

The transition from Public Health England (PHE) to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has been officially implemented, with the latest vaccine surveillance report reflecting this change. The report indicates that vaccine uptake varies by age, with significant numbers of adults remaining unvaccinated. Notably, the UK has pledged 1 million vaccine doses to developing countries without impacting its domestic vaccination program. The National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS) is utilized for tracking vaccinations, though it may underestimate rates due to duplicate entries, while the Office for National Statistics (ONS) provides alternative data that can indicate vaccination rates exceeding 100%.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vaccine surveillance methodologies
  • Familiarity with the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS)
  • Knowledge of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data reporting
  • Awareness of population immunity modeling techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest UKHSA publications on COVID-19 vaccine uptake
  • Examine the methodologies used by NIMS and ONS for vaccination data
  • Explore population immunity modeling techniques in public health
  • Investigate the implications of vaccine distribution pledges to developing countries
USEFUL FOR

Public health officials, epidemiologists, data analysts, and anyone involved in vaccine distribution and monitoring efforts will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
Latest vaccine data now issued by the UKHSA
Public Health England are being/are replaced by Health Security agency

Latest publication below. Very similar format to PHE

https://assets.publishing.service.g...849/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_40.pdf

Vaccine uptake by age is below (page 9 of the above) and vaccine UK by day uptake is below that from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations

I used dose one as dose 2 is slightly lower

We have not at any point had vaccine shortages to my knowledge, in fact we have 1M jabs that have been pledged to the third world without derailing our current program https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ccine-doses-to-poorer-countries-within-a-year

Each band represents about 4 million people so we are looking at significant numbers of adults unvaccinated. Page 13 gives the deaths between week 36-39.

These publications include variant distribution so I will post that when it is released.

That uses NIMS. It underestimates the vaccination rate, as people are counted more than once in that database if they changed addresses without notifying the authority. I think they use NIMS for work, since it's better to make sure they've reached everyone if they have an important message. There's another database ONS which is supposedly more accurate but apparently produces vaccintation rates above 100%.

The UK government has a third method which is to sample and model, and that produces a population immunity (by infection and vaccination) of over 90% and a vaccination rate of ~98% in ages 60+:
