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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2021 answer text <p>No vaccine should be wasted and there is National Health Service operational guidance in place to help prevent this. Following this guidance, all vaccination centres should have a reserve list of people in the eligible cohorts who can be called in case doses would be wasted. If no members of the currently prioritised cohorts are available, it is recommended that members of the next priority cohorts be vaccinated. In the extremely exceptional case where this is not possible, locally available people can be vaccinated based on clinical judgement.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 12/04/2021 15:45:49 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 79510 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

uin	140797
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 12/04/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) are the independent experts who advise the Government on which vaccines the United Kingdom should use and provide advice on prioritisation at a population level, based on their assessments.</p><p>In line with current advice from the JCVI, adult members of a household that includes someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) are prioritised for vaccination according to their own age and clinical risk. They are not prioritised based on sharing a household with someone who is CEV, whether this person is an adult or a child, so will not be vaccinated at the same time.</p><p>Exceptions to this rule include those who are in receipt of carer’s allowance, or those who are the main carer of an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill. These people should be offered vaccination in priority group six. Additionally, on 29 March 2021, the JCVI advised that household contacts of the immunosuppressed should be offered a COVID-19 vaccination alongside priority group six, and these people will be vaccinated accordingly.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 12/04/2021 14:02:06 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
