answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>A five-week consultation was launched on 14 April to inform decision-making to make vaccination a condition of staff deployment in older adult care home providers. We have also introduced a minimum four-visit schedule to ensure as many care home staff and residents can be vaccinated on-site as possible. For those workers who may not have been present when the vaccination team visited the specific care home, access via other vaccination services has been available. Care home workers who would like to be vaccinated can now also arrange vaccination directly through their general practitioner.</p><p>Additionally, a significant programme of work is underway to help boost uptake in all communities, including for care workers and social care staff, as set out in the UK COVID-19 Uptake Plan which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-uptake-plan/uk-covid-19-vaccine-uptake-plan" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-uptake-plan/uk-covid-19-vaccine-uptake-plan</a></p><p>NHS England publish weekly data on the number of vaccines doses administered to National Health Service trust and social care staff in England, which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-vaccinations/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-vaccinations/</a></p><p>Data on those who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine is not collected centrally.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 138889 question first answered 26/04/2021 09:16:14 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 72778 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 29/04/2021 answer text <p>The National Health Service is grateful for the support that businesses have offered and is in the process of establishing vaccination centres across the country that can manage the logistical challenge of needing to store the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine at an appropriate temperature. Our approach, with three delivery models – community teams, vaccination sites, and hospital hubs – has been devised to be flexible and reach all parts of the country. The phased vaccination programme - which began on 8 December 2020 with hospital hubs - will be expanded over the coming weeks and months to include local vaccination services and largescale vaccination centres across the country. More than 730 vaccination sites have already been established across the UK and hundreds more are opening this week to take the running total to over 1,000.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 29/04/2021 13:00:08 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 67387 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
