Dear Freedom of Information,

Thank you for this reply however, could you resend your reply ?

This one appears to have been jumbled up.

I would also like to request a review.

Maybe I could lower the time span?

Would this put my request within the budget?

Good afternoon,

 

Thank you for your email. Please find attached a PDF version of the
response we provided you with. In terms of the Vaccine data, we have the
May data as part of enhanced surveillance we were asked to commence &
submit by NHSi during May. Maintaining this data collection is not
sustainable and will not be continued. I have attached the data we have.
