	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring equal access to the vaccine and that no one eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in the first phase is left behind. It is clear, however, from both attitudinal surveys and data on uptake, that there is variation in levels of uptake across different geographies and communities.</p><p>On 13 February 2021, the Government Published the UK’s Vaccine Uptake Plan which recognises that some communities have long-standing barriers to engagement with services including for vaccination. The plan acknowledges the need to take a local, community-led approach, with support provided from government, NHS England and NHS Improvement and local authorities to coordinate and enable action. The plan is underpinned at national, regional and local level by four key enablers; working in partnership, removing barriers, data and information and conversations and engagement. Nationally, a Vaccination Equalities Committee has been established, which brings together government departments with representatives from the Association of Directors of Public Health, local authorities, Fire and Police services and third sector organisations, to advise and guide the vaccine deployment programme on addressing inequalities.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/04/2021 12:42:56 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 82407 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 16/02/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) are the independent experts who advise the Government on which vaccine/s the United Kingdom should use and provide advice on prioritisation at a population level. The JCVI has advised that the first priorities for any COVID-19 vaccination programme should be the prevention of COVID-19 mortality and the protection of health and social care staff and systems. Therefore, in line with the recommendations of the JCVI, the vaccine will be initially rolled out to the priority groups.</p><p> </p><p>This includes care home residents and staff, people over 80 years old and health and care workers, then to the rest of the population in order of age and risk, including those who are clinically extremely vulnerable and those aged 16-64 years old with certain underlying health conditions. Individuals with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma who are at any stage of treatment are considered clinically extremely vulnerable and will be eligible for a vaccine. Anyone with a history of haematological malignancy should be offered a vaccination at priority group six.</p><p> </p><p>Consideration has been given to vaccination of household contacts of immunosuppressed individuals. However, at this time there is no data on the size of the effect of COVID-19 vaccines on transmission. Evidence is expected to accrue during the course of the vaccine programme and until that time the JCVI is not in a position to advise vaccination solely on the basis of indirect protection.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 148853 question first answered 16/02/2021 10:02:29 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 79921 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 13/04/2021 answer text <p>At the time of the COVID-19 Fast Start competition, launched in April 2020, the path the pandemic would follow was unclear and the Government supported every project which could aid the response, including ‘vaccine passports’. Two British companies, Mvine and iProov, were funded by Innovate UK to develop a working prototype of a vaccine passport.</p><p>The Government will review whether COVID-19 status certification could play a role in reopening the economy, reducing restrictions on social contact and improving safety. This will include assessing to what extent certification would be effective in reducing risk, and the potential uses to enable access to settings or a relaxation of COVID-19 secure mitigations. The Government will also consider the ethical, equalities, privacy, legal and operational aspects of this approach and what limits, if any, should be placed on organisations using certification. It will draw on external advice to develop recommendations that take into account any social and economic impacts and implications for disproportionately impacted groups and individuals’ privacy and security.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 13/04/2021 15:20:54 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 77015 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 26/04/2021 answer text <p>Currently there are no plans to open vaccination sites 24 hours a day. However, we are keeping this under review based on patient and staff feedback.</p><p>We previously piloted an extended hours service in community pharmacy led vaccination sites in key locations in England, operating an extended hours service from 5am to 8am and 8pm to 1am. This was a very small pilot with limited data and for a very short period of time. However, it is recommended that regional teams encourage pharmacy local vaccination sites to offer more flexible hours/appointment schedules outside of the 8am to 8pm period if a trial shows there is local demand. Under current contractual terms, this would be opt-in for the contractor but may be attractive due to potentially minimising impact on provision of other pharmaceutical services.</p><p>NHS England and NHS Improvement will continue to test extended opening hours, including 24-hour provision.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 26/04/2021 16:38:07 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 79509 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
