answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2021 answer text <p><strong></strong>A National Health Service number is not a pre-requisite to be offered the vaccine. The provision of the COVID-19 vaccine is a primary medical service and will be offered to all individuals living in the United Kingdom. If individuals are registered with a general practitioner (GP), their practice will contact them in due course. If they are not registered with a GP, NHS regional teams, working with various appropriate local systems, will contact unregistered people to ensure they are offered the vaccine.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/04/2021 09:21:56 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2021 answer text <p>Doctors cannot refuse to register individuals whose immigration status is yet to be decided, for a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination against COVID-19 is offered to every adult living in the United Kingdom free of charge, regardless of immigration status. Entitlement to free National Health Service treatment is generally based on ordinary residence in the UK. A person who can show they have taken up ordinary residence in the UK can access all NHS services immediately, including COVID-19 vaccinations, based on clinical need. No immigration checks are needed to receive these services and the NHS is not required to report undocumented migrants to the Home Office.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/04/2021 14:22:58 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2021 answer text <p>Prioritisation for COVID-19 vaccination in phase one of the programme is based on reducing mortality, morbidity and protecting the health and social care system. Phase two, which started on 13 April, has been based on risk of serious health outcomes from COVID-19 therefore individuals have not been prioritised on the basis of factors such as responsibility for child-care. There are currently no plans to prioritise on this basis.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/04/2021 08:51:47 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2021 answer text <p>Public Health England is monitoring the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines and has published early evidence on both the Pfizer/BioNTech and University of Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines. This evidence suggests that a single dose of either vaccine is approximately 60 to 70% effective at preventing symptomatic disease in older adults and around 80% effective at preventing hospitalisations. There is also evidence that a single dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is around 85% effective at preventing deaths.</p><p>As the COVID-19 vaccination programme continues in younger age groups, vaccine effectiveness estimates in these age groups will be published in due course. Vaccine effectiveness will continue to be monitored long-term in order to understand the need for booster doses.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/04/2021 16:20:30 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

uin	178873
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2021 answer text <p>Private patients are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Any patient with a National Health Service number can book a vaccination appointment through the National Booking Service, when they become eligible. Any patient without an NHS number, including private patients, can register with a NHS general practitioner (GP) if they choose. However, not having an NHS number and not being registered with a GP should not be a barrier to vaccination. The terms under which NHS GPs are commissioned to deliver COVID-19 vaccination services enable practices to vaccinate unregistered patients. Private practices can also contact their local clinical commissioning group, who should identify local providers able to vaccinate their patients.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/04/2021 09:03:28 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has determined that those with severe mental illnesses (SMI) are within cohort 6 for the vaccine rollout, and we are encouraging General Practitioners (GPs) to take a similar approach for this group of people to that being proposed for people with learning disabilities, working in partnership with secondary care mental health services and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise partners to ensure appropriate outreach mechanisms are in place.</p><p>People with SMI (including people who are severely unwell with an eating disorder, who have a high or low body mass index) and their carers should receive an invitation from their GP to get their COVID-19 vaccine. This might be by letter, text message or phone, or a combination of all three. If someone is unsure if they have an SMI which falls within the official definition above, they are encouraged to contact their GP, or mental health team. GP teams are encouraged to keep prioritising people with severe mental illness, applying a flexible approach to defining SMI.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 21/04/2021 09:36:39 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
