	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p>Information on vaccine wastage prior to it entering the NHS England and NHS Improvement supply chain is not held in the format requested. Information on vaccine wastage within the NHS England and NHS Improvement supply chain is not held centrally. NHS England and NHS Improvement’s review of site deliveries, vaccination events, and site stocktakes would suggest that the number of vaccines deemed unusable at that point are within the bounds of planned expected waste.</p><p>Robust mitigations have been put in place throughout the vaccination programme to reduce wastage. Stock levels have been closely monitored at a regional, system and site level with deliveries adjusted accordingly. This includes keeping stock back in the supply chain and encouraging sites to reallocate stock at a local level, rather than draw from central stores. Vaccine deliveries have been carefully managed in line with site capacity, population density and available supply, to ensure that any vaccine being delivered would be used within as short a timeframe as possible.</p><p>Furthermore, following recent discussions with Pfizer and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, on 17 January 2022 NHS England and NHS Improvement wrote to healthcare providers setting out that certain unpunctured and undamaged Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines have had their post thaw shelf-life extended from 31 days to 45 days. This proactive step will help to further mitigate the risk of vaccine wastage following the rapid scaling-up of the booster programme over Christmas.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that the first priorities for any COVID-19 vaccination programme should be to reduce COVID-19 mortality and protect the health and social care staff and systems. As a result, they have based their prioritisation largely on age and those with clinical risk factors aged 16 years old and above.</p><p> </p><p>In line with the JCVI’s recommendations, individuals who regularly work with clinically extremely vulnerable individuals or those who have underlying health conditions, should receive the vaccine in line with social care workers. The local authority Director of Adult Social Services should have ultimate responsibility for identifying eligible social care workers, underlined by the principle aim of achieving high rates of vaccination amongst frontline social care workers who work closely and regularly with those who are clinically vulnerable to COVID-19. In addition, if a special school staff member is identified as being in one of the other at-risk cohorts, they will be contacted by the National Health Service at the appropriate time based on the JCVI’s advice.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 02/02/2021 16:58:02 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 78953 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
