	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of anti-vaccination messages on the uptake of all routine pre-school vaccinations.
	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL1266
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>England’s national vaccination programme is well-regarded globally, with uptake levels for most of our pre-school vaccinations above 90%. Parental attitudinal surveys conducted by Public Health England demonstrate that there is high confidence in our vaccine programmes and that 94% of parents rate the National Health Service as the most trusted source of information on immunisation.</p><p>However, despite a recent uptick in vaccination uptake rates, the Department remains concerned about the slow and steady decline in vaccine uptake rates since 2013. Whilst the impact of anti-vaccination messaging on uptake is hard to quantify, we take the issue of misinformation about vaccines extremely seriously. We are working across Government and with social media companies on innovative ways to tackle the proliferation of anti-vaccine messaging on their sites and ensuring that reputable sources are the most prominent.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 11/02/2020 14:58:16 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>The Department is aware that effective reminder systems are likely to be a key factor in improving vaccine uptake. This was highlighted in the January 2019 Royal Society for Public Health report <em>Moving the Needle</em>, which noted that such services are desired by 80% of United Kingdom adults surveyed. As such, the Department is considering options for improved, and more consistent, methods for reminding parents of vaccination appointments, including rolling out a text reminder service, as announced by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in November 2019.</p><p>More widely, the Government is committed to publishing a national Vaccine Strategy as announced in July 2019 as part of the Prevention Green Paper, <em>Advancing our health: prevention in the 2020s</em>. The strategy, which will be published shortly, carefully considers an array of options to improve our vaccine uptake rates.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 11/02/2020 14:54:02 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
