answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2020 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) are the independent experts who advise Government on prioritisation at a population level. Based on scientific analysis and modelling data, the JCVI will advise on which cohorts of the United Kingdom’s population will be eligible for vaccination, should a safe and effective vaccine be found. This will depend on factors such as the properties of the vaccine, those most at need (including frontline health and social care workers) and the unique medical circumstances of individuals.</p><p>The committee’s interim advice is that the vaccine should first be given to care home residents and staff, followed by people over 80 and health and social workers, then to the rest of the population in order of age and risk. Further work is being undertaken to understand more about the groups most at risk of serious disease and death from COVID-19 infection. Any advice will need to be modified depending on the characteristics of the vaccines, when these become available.</p><p>We will consider the Committee’s advice carefully as we continue to plan for a vaccination campaign.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 22/10/2020 09:57:58 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
