question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the case for encouraging people who are 60 years old and above who have not been vaccinated against shingles to receive a vaccination; and what steps they are taking to encourage the take-up of that vaccine amongst that cohort.
tabling member printed	Baroness Featherstone
uin	HL16148
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>The National Shingles Vaccination Programme, implemented in September 2013 is provided by general practices. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation recommends the shingles vaccine for adults routinely at age 70 years with a phased catch up for those aged 71-79 years. The eligibility criteria change means that patients become eligible for the vaccine from their 70th and 78th birthdays, if not previously vaccinated, and can be offered the vaccine opportunistically all year round.</p><p>In support of this change, Public Health England (PHE) has updated the communication materials for both patients and healthcare professionals to better identify those who are eligible and emphasise the benefits to patients from the shingles vaccination. This includes guidance for those individuals who have missed the opportunity to receive the vaccine previously but who remain eligible, up to their 80th birthday.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 18/06/2019 12:29:15 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

tabling member printed	Baroness Masham of Ilton
uin	HL16108
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is the Government’s independent expert advisory body and its advice has always previously been followed.</p><p>The United Kingdom frequently adopts innovative immunisation schedules and we regularly change the vaccine schedule following the advice of the JCVI.</p><p>The JCVI advised that a two-dose schedule for the infant pneumococcal conjugate vaccine Prevenar13 is appropriate for the UK in place of the current three-dose schedule.</p><p>The JCVI’s advice was given full consideration, taking into account the potential public health implications, such as impact on cases of pneumococcal disease, before a decision was made to implement it. The evidence shows that two doses will sustain the results we have already seen. The decision is based on the excellent effectiveness of the vaccine and years of high uptake, which has helped to provide protection to the rest of the population and has successfully controlled many types of pneumococcal disease in this country.</p><p>We are confident that the world-class disease surveillance system we have in this country means our expert committee can closely monitor the impact of this change.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 18/06/2019 12:30:18 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
