A more accurate measure is to present the number of deaths per 100,000 of each group,The age-standardised mortality rate for deaths involving COVID-19 is 32 times higher for unvaccinated people than for those who received the second dose (England) Office for National Statistics – Public Health Data Asset, National Immunisation Management Service

Hi Dr, to use the above listed metric you would need to ascertain the dates in which the data is taken. A fair comparison of data is once vaccine supply is available. This would then apply the same time length comparison.
