During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, routine childhood immunisation programmes continued to be delivered in primary care.

This includes prioritisation of immunisations based on JCVI advice, digitalising consent processes and utilising a range of alternative community settings to deliver vaccines where appropriate. NHS England has also been working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department of Education to ensure that schools facilitate the continuation of vaccinations.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 12/11/2021 13:53:34 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
