The JCVI identified that the vaccination of frontline healthcare workers as a priority because these staff 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.</p><p>If early years workers are captured in phase one due to their age or clinical risk factors they will be prioritised. However, the Government, as advised by the JCVI, are not considering vaccinating early years workers as a phase one priority at this stage. Prioritisation decisions for next phase delivery are subject to of the surveillance and monitoring data and information from phase one, as well as further input from independent scientific experts such as the JCVI. Phase two may include further reduction in hospitalisation and targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and those delivering key public services.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 26/04/2021 16:22:42 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
