This will help ensure that the wider health needs of people who sleep rough are addressed, supporting them now and for the future.</p><p>The JCVI are the independent experts who provide advice to Government on which vaccine(s) the UK should use, and which groups to prioritise. The JCVI have advised that the first priorities for any COVID-19 vaccination programme should be for the prevention of COVID-19 mortality and the protection of health and social care staff and systems.</p><p>Many people sleeping rough will be a priority for the COVID-19 vaccine due to underlying health conditions. Secondary priorities could include vaccination of those at increased risk of hospitalisation and at increased risk of exposure, and to maintain resilience in essential public services.</p><p>We continue to work with the homelessness sector, local authorities and health and care partners, to ensure the needs of those experiencing homelessness can be met.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 11/01/2021 17:41:19 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
