However, the closure of schools from 23 March 2020 meant that the delivery of all school-aged immunisation programmes, including human papillomavirus (HPV), tetanus, diphtheria and polio booster (Td/IPV) and meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) were interrupted from this date onwards.</p><p>Recovery and restoration continues, with National Health Service providers adopting a flexible and transformative delivery model to ensure those eligible receive their vaccine. This includes prioritisation of immunisations based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, digitalising consent processes and utilising a range of alternative community settings to deliver vaccines where appropriate. NHS England has also been working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department of Education to ensure that schools facilitate the continuation of vaccinations.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 10/11/2021 13:55:54 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
