Request
“1) Neonatal mortality rate- At Public Health Scotland's 'Shinyapps' site, the data section 'Stillbirths and infant deaths' provides data on the rate of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, post-neonatal deaths expressed as a rate of relevant births. This dataset starts from July 2017, but I wondered if there was earlier data? Ideally as far back as possible, but if there were data back to 2010, 2012 or so, to see a longer history of this?”
“2) COVID vaccinations in pregnancy - PHS' "COVID-19 Statistical Report" published 28th Sep 2022 contains data on vaccination update in pregnancy - particularly sheet "N vacs by dose week" from the file 'vaccination in pregnancy.xlsx". This file contains no data later than the week of 31st July 2022. I would like to ask for any updated data, to the most recent point available. If no data is being taken, could you comment on why? It seems it would be particularly important to measure efficacy and risk in such a critical population as pregnant women.”
