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 with hospital hubs, will be expanded over the coming weeks and months to include local vaccination services and large-scale vaccination centres across the country.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/12/2020 17:19:41 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2021 answer text <p>There are no plans to introduce vaccine certification following this vaccination programme. As with other vaccination programmes, when patients are vaccinated, they are likely to receive a vaccine record card that notes the date of their vaccination, the suggested date for their second dose and details of the vaccine type and batch. This is a vaccine record card, similar to those given to patients for other NHS vaccinations as a note of when they received their vaccine. It is not intended to be used for any other purpose, or as an immunity certificate. All vaccinations are recorded on the patient’s record with their GP.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 04/02/2021 15:47:05 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

This has subsequently impacted the cost of these materials.</p><p> </p><p>The reported issues with the supply of some chemicals used in foam production is a commercial issue and likely a result of an increased global demand on these materials.
