Coronavirus: Vaccination
(asked on 18th November 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 15 November 2022 to Question 82160 on Coronavirus: Vaccination, for what reason providing a list of medical conditions that have been accepted or rejected would require the disclosure of personal information; and if he will list the medical conditions without disclosing information that could identity any person with such a condition.
The Department is unable to provide the information requested where the number of claimants is fewer than five as there is a risk that claimants could be identified using a combination of information which may be in the public domain or reasonably available.
The following table provides a list of medical conditions for which there have been five or more COVID-19 vaccine related claimants to minimise the risk of any persons being identified.
Accepted | Rejected |
Vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis/cerebral venous sinus thrombosis | Myocarditis/pericarditis |
| Myocardial infarction |
| Pulmonary embolus |
| Stroke/cerebrovascular accident |
Due to the complexity of cases, it is possible one individual with a certain condition might be accepted, whilst another might be rejected.
