question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies on the prioritisation of covid-19 vaccines of the Joint Statement on prioritisation of COVID-19 vaccination for seafarers and aircrew by the International Civil Aviation Organization, International Labour Organization, International Maritime Organization, International Organization for Migration and World Health Organization, published on 25 March 2021, that calls on Governments to prioritise seafarers and aircrew in their national covid-19 vaccination programmes.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2021 answer text <p>Phase two of the vaccination programme will cover all adults under 50 years old not already included in phase one. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has concluded that the most effective way to minimise hospitalisations and deaths is to continue to prioritise people by age, as this is assessed to be the strongest factor linked to mortality, morbidity and hospitalisations and because the speed of delivery is crucial to provide more people with protection from COVID-19. Seafarers and aircrew, in line with the JCVI’s advice, will therefore be prioritised for vaccination according to their age and clinical risk along with the rest of the population. They will not be prioritised based on their occupation.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/04/2021 09:06:30 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

However, the programme is on track to offer a first dose of the vaccine to all those aged 18 years old or over in England by 31 July.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/04/2021 16:10:28 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

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

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

Although we continue to investigate further potential vaccine candidates worldwide, we are currently not able to give any further information on these candidates owing to commercial sensitivity.

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
