Dear Department of Health,

Further to my recent request on Covid 19 cases in Vaccinated and
Unvaccinated individuals, could you please advise the following

-Total number of deaths per month in 2021 (from all causes)
-Number who were Covid 19 vaccinated and unvaccinated, whereby:

"Fully vaccinated" refers to deaths who had completed the full course of
COVID-19 vaccination according to the corresponding recommended
vaccination schedule (one dose or two doses schedule).

"Not fully vaccinated" includes those cases who had not completed the
full course of COVID-19 vaccination, those who were unvaccinated and those

Many thanks

                                                                Re

                Further to our previous reply dated 15.12.2021, you have
requested further information under Code on Access to Information on the
same date.  

2.                Information on COVID-19 vaccination was only available
for COVID-19 cases reported from 27 February 2021 onwards.  For those
COVID-19 cases who were known to have COVID-19 vaccination, there was no
death recorded among them (as of 13 Dec 2021).

3.                However, we do not have the information on vaccinated
individuals died from any cause.

4.                Thank you for your attention.

Dear Department of Health,

Thanks very much for the data.

In regard to your third point:

"However, we do not have the information on COVID-19

vaccination for all deaths.   Among the vaccinated COVID-19 cases,  there

was no death recorded (as of 13 Dec 2021)."

Could you please provide the details surrounding this point? How many
vaccinated individuals this year died from any cause? I presume you have
this data as you indicate that no vaccinated individual died with Covid
19, so you must be able to provide all cause death information?

Thanks very much

Yours faithfully,

Allyson van de Pol

Re：Application No. 16/2021

            I refer to your request on further information under Code on

2.       For the number of all deaths per month, as mentioned in our

Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics from Census and Statistics Department
(“C&SD”) in the following link:

We have mentioned that we do not have the information on vaccination among
them.  

3.        As mentioned in our last reply dated 24.12.2021, we only have
information on COVID-19 vaccination on "COVID-19 cases" starting from
27.2.2021 onwards.  There was no death record for those COVID-19 cases who
were known to have COVID-19 vaccination as of 13.12.2021.  

4.        For the number of deaths who were COVID-19 vaccinated and
unvaccinated, we do not have the requested information.

Dear Department of Health,

I'm sorry you haven't given me the information I asked for. Here is my
question again:

"Fully vaccinated" refers to deaths who had completed the full course of

COVID-19 vaccination according to the corresponding recommended

full course of COVID-19 vaccination, those who were unvaccinated and those

with vaccination status unknown.

Yours faithfully,
