answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2021 answer text <p>There are no delays in administering the Pfizer vaccine. We have clear plans in place with Pfizer to ensure sufficient supply of the vaccine throughout 2021 and to prevent any shortages. There has been a regular and steady supply of vaccine doses arriving into the United Kingdom since early December and we have sufficient doses to maintain our vaccination programme as it continues to accelerate, working closely with Pfizer to ensure vaccines keep arriving into the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We have sufficient vaccines available to administer second doses for Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca, in line with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization) guidance. The decision to offer second doses from 8 weeks for cohorts 1 – 9 factored in that there was sufficient supply to honour the plan. There are no known issues around availability to deliver the first or second dose plan for any vaccine.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 10/06/2021 15:48:31 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of including shop workers providing essential services in the priority group for covid-19 vaccination and testing.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2021 answer text <p>Shop workers providing essential services will be offered their vaccinations alongside other adults of the same age, or earlier if they have underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. They are not currently being prioritised because of their occupation alone, as age is assessed to be the strongest factor linked to mortality, morbidity and hospitalisations, and because the speed of delivery is crucial as we provide more people with protection from COVID-19.</p><p>For the first phase, the Government decided, based on the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advice, that the vaccine first be given to 9 identified priority groups. The two highest priority groups were care home residents and staff followed by frontline health and social care workers and everyone aged over 80. Frontline health and social care workers are prioritised in the first phase because they are at high risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection but also of transmitting that infection to multiple persons who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 as well as to other staff in a healthcare environment. The remaining 7 priority groups in the first phase include all those identified at either higher clinical risk or clinically extremely vulnerable, unpaid carers, and anyone not included in those groups but aged 50 or above. Everyone aged over 50 is included even where the individual has no other risk factors because serious outcomes from COVID-19 are strongly age related.</p><p>For Phase 2 of the COVID 19 vaccination programme, the JCVI published its interim advice on 26 February setting out that the most effective way to minimise hospitalisations and deaths is to continue to prioritise people by age, rather than by occupation.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2021 answer text <p>A recent assessment by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) found that early data indicates lower protection in vaccinated adults who are immunosuppressed, including those with blood cancer. Those with severe immunosuppression are therefore more likely to suffer poor outcomes following infection and are less likely to benefit from the vaccines offered.</p><p>On 29 March 2021, the JCVI advised that household contacts of the immunosuppressed (such as those with blood cancer) should be offered a COVID-19 vaccination alongside priority group 6 in Phase 1. NHS England and Improvement will now vaccinate these household contacts in priority group 6.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/04/2021 09:33:27 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 82100 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2021 answer text <p>On 24 February, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) published a clarification of their advice on vaccinating people with a learning disability. The JCVI confirmed their advice that prioritisation should be for those with a severe and profound learning disability as in their view the evidence does not support prioritised vaccination for those with learning difficulties outside this group. However, the committee supported a practical approach of inviting everyone who is on a General Practitioner Learning Disability Register for vaccination in priority group 6. The Government accepted this advice and everyone who is on a GP Learning Disability Register is now included in priority group 6 of Phase 1 of the vaccine programme.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 13/04/2021 16:03:32 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 79931 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2021 answer text <p>Local vaccination services play a vital role in reaching vulnerable groups such as those who are sleeping rough or homeless. These services mobilise general practice, working together in groups of Primary Care Networks plus large and small community pharmacy sites. These services provide the largest number of locations and are well placed to support the highest risk individuals, many of whom already have a trusted relationship with their local health services. They also coordinate and deliver vaccination to people who are unable to attend a vaccination site and to reach vulnerable groups such as those who are experiencing homelessness.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 17/03/2021 13:04:34 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 76249 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
