Data are collected about people vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 within England and anyone vaccinated in a devolved administration where this information is subsequently passed to England. Data collected include demographic information, vaccination details and vaccine batch details. The source of all vaccination data is the National Immunisation Management System (NIMS) database.

4. Documentation#
We are currently building a documentation storage system which will host useful documents related to datasets and data owners. We will surface these documents on Guidebook.
5. Useful Syntax#
Below we will include syntax that may be helpful to other researchers in the UK LLC TRE. For longer scripts, we will include a snippet of the code plus a link to the UK LLC GitHub repository where you can find the full scripts.
