Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) strongly encourages all staff and prisoners
who are eligible and offered the Covid-19 vaccine to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
Employees are asked to provide updates onto the HMPPS HR system once they have had
each dose of the vaccine. As the disclosure of their vaccine status is voluntary,
it means the self-declaration rates presented below will very likely be lower than
the actual number of staff who have been vaccinated. This data will help us understand
staff vaccination take up and coverage, plan recovery and infection control measures,
and inform recovery decisions.</p><p>Data for prisoner vaccinations has been provided
by NHS England who are responsible for the vaccination programme. Please note that
figures in relation to prisoner vaccinations change daily due to the level of activity
in the vaccination programme across the estate and therefore can only be read as a
snapshot on the day they were calculated.</p><p>Our <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-national-framework-for-prison-regimes-and-services"
target="_blank">National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services</a> sets out how
we will take decisions about easing restrictions in prisons. Prisons continue to progress
through the Stages of the Framework, and vaccination coverage is an important part
of the consideration about the necessary degree of restrictions.</p>
