Best data source for Covid outcome by vaccination status?


I’m looking for time series data that I can use to model vax and unvax as separate populations to calculate the rates of case/hospitalizations/death within each. Does such a data source exist?

Basically looking for data similar to that used in this study:

Compare these numbers with a report by the UK government (page 19 and 20):

I don't understand how there are 1613 vaccinated deaths versus 722 unvaccinated deaths. This is a period covering Feb through Sep, so it went from the low vaccination levels at the start of the year to high levels now.

If you look at the CDC numbers in their PDF you would believe Biden's claim "this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated." 91% of the deaths from Apr4–Jul17 are from the unvaccinated. The number of overall cases among vaccinated are a small fraction of the total, where the UK numbers that's not nearly the case.

Both countries use the same Pfizer vaccine. Can someone explain the discrepancy?

One problem I have with the statistics I’ve encountered is that they often seem to categorize people who were vaccinated less than 14 days ago as unvaccinated.

This makes it harder to dive into vaccine efficacy and safety relative to unvaccinated.

It would be great for anybody seriously trying to compile this data to distinguish between vaccinated, unvaccinated, and not fully vaccinated for both 1 and 2 shot vaccines.
