answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/08/2020 answer text <p>Throughout the COVID-19 response, general practices (GPs) have been encouraged to continue to deliver as much routine and preventative work as can be provided safely, including vaccinations and screening appointments, as well as supporting their more high-risk patients with ongoing care needs. GPs re-opened fully from 1 July to patients who should now be able to access services by phone, online or in person.</p><p>GPs are expected to actively offer patients aged 70 years and over the shingles vaccine. There is also a catch-up programme available for individuals aged 78 or 79 years and the programme has been extended to include individuals who may have turned 80 years during lockdown. Where feasible and where vaccine stock is available, GPs were also advised to seek to identify and offer Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV23) to those eligible.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 17/08/2020 22:51:08 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
