2005/06 5
2006/07 4

2010/11 1
2011/12 0
2012/13 0
2013/14 0

Dear Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency's handling of my FOI request 'Yellow Card Reports for Vaccine Damage'.

I am familiar with both the Vaccine Damage Payment scheme and the Yellow Card reporting process, including their aims and short comings. What I requested was 'the total number of Yellow Card reports raised each of the years between 2002 and 2015 in association with vaccine damage'.If you wish to substitute the word 'suspect' in place of 'in association with' I would find it quite acceptable.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/y...

Yours faithfully,
