uin	HL6940
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>In November 2022, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) provided interim advice which indicated that in autumn 2023, persons at higher risk of severe COVID-19 could be offered a booster vaccine dose in preparation for winter 2023 to 2024. As it was interim advice, the JCVI report does not contain any evidential basis for proposed cohorts.

The considerations for any future decisions will be referenced in JCVI reports and meeting minutes.</p><p> </p><p>In February 2023, JCVI provided advice for the spring 2023 COVID-19 vaccination programme. As a precautionary measure, JCVI advised a spring booster dose for the most vulnerable in the population, as a proportionate response: those over the age of 75 years, residents in a care home for older adults, and those over five years of age who are immunosuppressed.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement titled ‘Approach to Managing Covid-19’ on 30 March 2023, in 2023/24 the Government will maintain a range of capabilities to protect those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Given the continued effectiveness of vaccines and improved treatments, for most people there is a much lower risk of severe illness compared to earlier in the pandemic.</p><p> </p><p>We will therefore continue to encourage people to take up the vaccines to which they are entitled, and we will continue to fund and provide COVID-19 testing, to manage outbreaks in some high-risk settings and to enable access to treatments for those who are eligible. We will also maintain essential COVID-19 surveillance activities in the community, primary and secondary care, and in high-risk settings. Additionally, we will retain proportionate capability for testing in the event of a COVID-19 wave or variant that results in a significant increase in pressure on the National Health Service.</p><p> </p><p>Vaccination does not significantly limit transmission, so there is no strong reason to prioritise vaccination for carers of those who are at high risk of severe illness.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 12/04/2023 13:39:05 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

tabling member printed	Lord Mendelsohn
uin	HL6943
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The numbers needed to vaccinate (NNV) for the prevention of hospitalisation was calculated to consider the benefits of continued offers of primary vaccination, booster vaccination, the autumn booster and potential boosting in the spring of 2023, for example, for those newly entering a risk group. This calculation estimates the number of people in a particular group who would need to be vaccinated in order to prevent one hospitalisation. The lower the number, the more beneficial vaccination of that group would be.</p><p> </p><p>Strong age effects were seen, as well as large differences within adult ages, by clinical risk group. The oldest age groups and the older individuals in clinical risk groups had the lowest NNV for prevention of hospitalisation. There is also a trend for higher NNV for prevention of hospitalisation when moving from the primary to each booster dose.</p><p> </p><p>The spring 2023 booster is for immunosuppressed people at risk rather than all individuals in a clinical risk group.</p><p> </p><p>The results of NNV by age and clinical risk group are shown in Tables 3b and 4a of Appendix 1, which is attached.</p><p> </p><p>These cover all individuals in a risk group based on analysis of data including the national immunisation register.
