question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will classify the crews of merchant ships coming to British ports as vital workers with priority for vaccination.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL2077
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/08/2021 answer text <p>Merchant ship crews coming into British ports have not been prioritised for vaccination based on their occupation. However, everyone aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom can now receive their vaccination; this includes all seafarers calling in UK ports.</p><p>The Government encourages all eligible seafarers and cruise ship employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in line with advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The Department is working closely with the Department for Transport, the Devolved Administrations and NHS England and Improvement to ensure that operational challenges in vaccinating these groups are mitigated so all those who are eligible can access the vaccine in an efficient and convenient way.</p><p>For phase one of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the JCVI considered evidence on the risk of exposure and risk of mortality from COVID-19, and subsequently provided advice that only health and social care workers should be prioritised for vaccination. The objective of this prioritisation was to protect workers at high risk of exposure, who, should they become infected, may also expose vulnerable individuals to COVID-19 whilst providing care. The Government accepted the JCVI advice.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 18/08/2021 11:33:01 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to prioritise prison staff for receipt of a COVID-19 vaccination.

uin	HL14043
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2021 answer text <p>For phase two of the COVID-19 vaccination programme, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s (JCVI) interim advice sets out that the most effective way to minimise hospitalisations and deaths is to continue to prioritise people by age, as it is assessed to be the strongest factor linked to mortality, morbidity and hospitalisation.</p><p> </p><p>Prison staff will not therefore be prioritised in phase two of the COVID-19 vaccine programme. However, in order to minimise vaccine wastage in delivery of the programme, the JCVI has advised that where vaccines remain unused following an offer of vaccination to those in detained settings, such vaccine it could reasonably be offered to prison officers.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 19/03/2021 11:39:33 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
