	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2021 answer text <p>Although the overall risk from COVID-19 in pregnant women is low, in later pregnancy some women may become seriously unwell and need hospital treatment. Pregnant women with COVID-19 have a higher risk of intensive care admission than women of the same age who are not pregnant. Women with COVID-19 disease are also 2-3 times more likely to have their babies early than women without COVID-19. Pregnant women with underlying clinical conditions are at even higher risk of suffering serious complications from COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>Currently, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommends an interval of 8 weeks between doses of all the available COVID-19 vaccines; this includes pregnant women. It is important to note that current evidence shows that a longer dose interval produces a better immune response. The JCVI regularly reviews its advice in relation to COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, taking into account new data and evidence on the effectiveness of the programme and epidemiological situation.</p><p> </p><p>We are working hard to drive uptake in pregnant women, to ensure that as many pregnant women take up the offer of vaccination as soon as possible so that they are protected throughout their pregnancy. It is understood that pregnant women may prefer to wait to be vaccinated until after they have given birth. It is important for pregnant women to discuss their offer of vaccination with a healthcare professional in relation to the risks and benefits of the vaccine.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 10/09/2021 13:44:02 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2021 answer text <p>Currently, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommends an interval of eight weeks between doses of all the available COVID-19 vaccines; this includes pregnant women. On 14 May 2021, in response to the increasing rates of infection of the Delta variant, the Government amended the interval of second doses for the most vulnerable cohorts who were offered a vaccine in phase one of the programme, from 12 weeks to an eight-week gap. The eight-week dose interval was applied to all eligible cohorts from 6 July.</p><p>It should be noted that current evidence shows that a longer dose interval produces a better immune response. As such, the JCVI has advised against reducing the dose interval further in order to maximise the effectiveness of the vaccination programme. The JCVI regularly reviews its advice in relation to COVID-19 vaccinations, taking into account new data and evidence on the effectiveness of the programme and the ongoing epidemiological situation<em>.</em></p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 13/09/2021 10:26:14 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2021 answer text <p>It is not known how long antibodies made in response to natural COVID-19 infection persist, and whether immunisation could offer more protection. However, it is expected the COVID-19 vaccine would boost any pre-existing antibodies from previous infection. There is no evidence of any safety concerns from vaccinating individuals with a history of COVID-19 infection or with detectable antibodies to COVID-19. Therefore, people who have had COVID-19 disease – whether confirmed or suspected – should still receive the COVID-19 vaccine.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 10/09/2021 09:12:09 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

The JCVI advises a two stage approach, with individuals in stage one offered a booster vaccine and flu vaccine, as soon as possible from September. Individuals in stage two would be offered a booster vaccine as soon as practicable after stage one, with equal emphasis on deployment of the flu vaccine where eligible. The JCVI suggests those aged 16 to 49 years old who are in an influenza or COVID-19 at risk group, including some patients with chronic respiratory disease and asthma are currently included in stage two.</p><p>Final decisions on the timing and scope and cohort eligibility, booster programme will be confirmed once the JCVI has provided their final advice.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 42174 question first answered 08/09/2021 15:14:12 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

Hyposplenism or reduced spleen function in coeliac disease is uncommon in children and the prevalence correlates with the duration of exposure to gluten. Therefore, children diagnosed with coeliac disease early in life whose condition is well managed are unlikely to require vaccination.</p><p>Clinical judgment should be applied in identifying these children on a case by case basis.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 10/09/2021 09:17:38 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
