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

This followed a rigorous scientific review of all the available data, including a detailed review of report cases as well as data from hospital admissions and general practitioner records. This has been confirmed by the Government’s independent advisory group, the Commission on Human Medicines, whose expert scientists and clinicians have also reviewed the available data.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 29/03/2021 15:33:49 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation has not recommended that those with autism are prioritised for vaccination as they have not yet found evidence that autism is a predictor of more serious outcomes for COVID-19. However, although autism is not considered a learning disability, many autistic people also have a learning disability. Those with learning disabilities and who are on the general practice Learning Disability Register are now included in cohort six in phase one of the vaccine programme.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 26/03/2021 14:19:42 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) are the independent experts who advise the Government on which vaccines the United Kingdom should use and provide advice on prioritisation at a population level.  For the first phase, the JCVI has advised that the vaccine be given to care home residents and staff, as well as frontline health and social care workers, then to the rest of the population in order of age and clinical risk factors. 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
