answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2021 answer text <p>Advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) noted that it was advisable to continue the vaccination of the 50–64-year-old cohort because from the age of 50 years old, individuals are at a greater risk of being hospitalised as a result of COVID-19 and the result of coinfection of COVID-19 and flu is likely to be more severe. However, no decision has been made on whether the eligibility of this cohort will be made permanent.</p><p>The Department will continue to consider the advice of the JCVI in decisions on which flu cohorts are recommended for a flu vaccine in the future. The JCVI use the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s methodology and criteria to assess whether a vaccine programme can be considered cost effective or not.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/09/2021 15:02:32 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 18931 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
