answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2021 answer text <p>The findings of the study, which has not yet been published or peer-reviewed, should be used cautiously as they are indicative and do not provide suitable data to infer directly the level of clinical protection. It should be noted that antibody expression following vaccination may only be part of the protection afforded by the vaccine. For example, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine induces a weak antibody response after first dose in the elderly, but recent Public Health England data shows strong clinical protection against hospitalisation and mortality in the same age group.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/03/2021 11:04:03 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recognises that many people who are homeless or sleeping rough are likely to have underlying health conditions which would place them in priority group six. These are likely to be under-diagnosed or not properly reflected in general practitioner (GP) records. The JCVI advised they should be offered the vaccine without the need for a National Health Service number or GP registration.</p><p>There is work being undertaken to update our operational guidance on reaching rough sleepers and homeless people based on this recent JCVI advice. The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government are working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement to support outreach and further work is being done to explore the availability of effective on-street models which could be used to support this work. Local teams are now prioritising all homeless people for vaccination alongside priority group six.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 169865 question first answered 22/03/2021 14:41:14 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2021 answer text <p>On 13 February we published the ‘UK COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Plan’, which aims to improve uptake across all communities. The approach set out in the plan is underpinned by four enablers at national, regional and local level. These are working in partnership; removing barriers to access; data and information; and conversations and engagement. The plan takes a local, community-led approach, with support provided from Government, NHS England and NHS Improvement and local authorities to coordinate and enable action.</p><p>The Department, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the National Health Service hold regular meetings with local authorities, faith leaders and black, Asian and minority ethnic organisations to provide advice and information about COVID-19 vaccines and how they will be made available.  In West Yorkshire, we have been delivering ‘pop up’ clinics in local community areas in Bradford such as local mosques and providing regular updates and resources to faith and community leaders to share. Local NHS staff and council officials have attended online question and answer sessions facilitated by local community leaders and engagement workers have been visiting areas of low vaccine uptake to provide information in spoken and written community languages.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/03/2021 11:00:40 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
