answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2021 answer text <p>On 13 February 2021, the Government published the COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Plan, which aims to improve uptake across all communities in the United Kingdom. We have allocated £23.75 million for councils and voluntary groups through the Community Champions scheme. Through this scheme, Community Champions will use their local networks to provide advice about COVID-19 and the vaccine. Champions will also work with councils to identify the barriers to accessing accurate information about the vaccine and to provide tailored support, such as phone calls for people who are digitally excluded and linking to general practitioner surgeries.</p><p> </p><p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation supports flexibility in delivery of the programme at a local level to ensure that every opportunity is utilised to offer the vaccine to groups with lower uptake. This can include offering vaccine in a wider range of settings. In Luton, additional vaccination centres, including a gym and a youth centre, have been set up by the local clinical commissioning group to maximise vaccine uptake.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 24/05/2021 15:45:25 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the three eligibility factors for covid-19 vaccinations for young people under 16 who are clinically extremely vulnerable of severe neurodisabilities, recurrent respiratory infections and frequently stays in specialist residential settings, what discussions he has had with representatives of the JCVI on the effect of allowing vaccination in the event that the first two of those eligibility factors have been met and a decision in favour of vaccination has been made by the physician responsible for the patient; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2021 answer text <p>Given the very high risk of exposure to infection and outbreaks in residential settings, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that COVID-19 vaccination may be considered for children with severe neuro-disabilities with recurrent respiratory tract infections and who frequently spend time in specialised residential care settings for children with complex needs.</p><p>The JCVI’s advice is that clinicians should discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with a person with parental responsibility, who should be told about the position on safety data for the vaccine in children aged under 16 years old. However, the matter of whether to offer vaccination to an individual, whether a child or adult, will ultimately be a decision for the physician responsible for the patient.

Similarly, the Bloom et al definition is not based on COVID-19 disease risk. Therefore, these definitions were not used. The JCVI has advised that all adults should be offered COVID-19 vaccination, unless it is contraindicated.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 24/05/2021 15:37:49 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

Public Health England’s Green Book also sets out that children under 16 years of age, even if they are clinically extremely vulnerable with a condition such as cystic fibrosis, are at low risk of serious morbidity and mortality and given the absence of safety and efficacy data on COVID-19 vaccines, are not recommended for routine vaccination.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 24/05/2021 08:56:05 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
