These data are used for vaccine effectiveness studies and for vaccine impact analysis.</p><p>PHE has published early data on vaccine effectiveness based on pillar two positive results in those who are over 80 years old which is linked to the national emergency care dataset. This analysis differentiates those who are unvaccinated, those who are within two weeks of first dose and those who are more than two weeks on from their first dose. This analysis is available at the following link: <br> <br> <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/phe-monitoring-of-the-effectiveness-of-covid-19-vaccination" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/phe-monitoring-of-the-effectiveness-of-covid-19-vaccination</a></p><p>PHE has no plans to publish data on a daily basis as there is a lag before hospitalisations are observed. In addition, analysis needs to allow for a vaccine induced immune response to be able to measure risk of hospitalisation from time since first and second dose of a vaccine.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 13/04/2021 08:45:08 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
