<p>There are currently no plans to prioritise students specifically as a group. This
includes those studying abroad next academic year. Students aged 18 years old and
over are prioritised on grounds of age in phase two of the COVID-19 vaccine programme
if they have not been vaccinated as part of phase one. Phase two offers vaccination
to all those aged 18 to 49 years old unless they fall into a higher cohort group due
to age or pre-existing health condition which puts them in phase one.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government is working closely with the devolved administrations, the higher education
sector and health services across the United Kingdom to ensure that all students are
able to access the vaccine efficiently and conveniently where they are eligible. The
Government advises those who may be unable to receive a full course of vaccination
in the UK to notify clinicians of this before they receive their vaccination. For
any foreign travel, the Government advises checking GOV.UK for relevant information
including information on healthcare provision.</p><p> </p><p>We are on track to offer
a first dose of COVID-19 vaccination to all those aged 18 years old and over by 31
July.</p><p> </p>
