Currently all those aged over 50 years old and those who are clinically vulnerable to COVID-19 can book their vaccination, including those who work overseas and are in the UK now.

Foreign nationals living overseas should obtain the vaccine in their country of residence.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 12/04/2021 12:24:57 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 76242 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2021 answer text <p>Based on the clinical assessment that most children are not considered to be at increased risk of COVID-19 mortality, being a foster carer alone is not cause for prioritisation for a COVID-19 vaccination. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that only those children at very high risk of exposure and serious outcomes, such as older children with severe neuro-disabilities within residential care, should be offered vaccination as part of phase one. There are currently no plans to prioritise foster parents not in the first nine priority groups in the next phase of the COVID-19 vaccination programme.</p><p>Unpaid carers are included in the JCVI’s priority group six, which includes individuals who are eligible for a carer’s allowance, or those who are the sole or primary carer of an elderly or disabled person who is at increased risk of COVID-19 mortality and therefore clinically vulnerable. This means that if a foster parent or carer is the sole or primary carer of a child who was prioritised for vaccination in cohorts four or six, they will be offered the vaccination in cohort six.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/04/2021 13:18:30 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 76241 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
