	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has identified that frontline health and social care workers should be in prioritised for vaccination in phase one of the programme, as these staff are at high risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection and transmitting that infection to multiple persons who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 as well as to other staff in a healthcare environment. The JCVI, based on a review of current data, concluded that the first dose of vaccine provides substantial protection within two to three weeks of vaccination from severe COVID-19 disease. Whilst the second dose is important to sustain the protection and extend its duration, most of the initial protection from clinical disease is after the first dose of the vaccine.</p><p> </p><p>The National Health Service has offered vaccination to everybody in cohorts one to nine, including health and social care workers and will be delivering all second doses within 12 weeks. As of 4 April 2021, over half of NHS trust healthcare workers in the NHS Electronic Staff Record have now received the second dose of their vaccine.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is the independent body made up of scientific and clinical experts who advise the Government on which vaccines the United Kingdom should use and provide advice on prioritisation at a population level. There is good evidence that certain underlying health conditions increase the risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19, therefore individuals with these underlying health conditions have been prioritised for a COVID-19 vaccination as part of phase one. These underlying health conditions do not include all disabilities. However, adults with Down’s syndrome are clinically extremely vulnerable and are included in priority group four. Those with severe and profound learning disability are in priority group six.</p><p> </p><p>On 24 February the JCVI published a clarification of their advice on vaccinating people with a learning disability. They confirmed their view that priority should be given to those with a severe and profound learning disability, but recognised concerns about coding of learning disability on general practitioner (GP) systems and supported a practical approach of inviting everyone who is on a GP Learning Disability Register for vaccination in priority group six.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 12/04/2021 14:04:29 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
