<p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), advised that the priority
for the current COVID-19 vaccination programme should be the prevention of COVID-19
mortality and the protection of health and social care staff and systems. The Government
will set out plans for phase two of the vaccination programme in due course, based
on further advice from the JCVI. Phase two of the roll-out may include further reduction
in hospitalisation and targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or
those delivering key public services. This could include first responders, the military,
those involved in the justice system, teachers, transport workers, and public servants
essential to the pandemic response.</p>
