answer text <p>Intellectual Property rights have been critical in underpinning innovators’ confidence to form over 300 partnerships - an unprecedented number - which have made real, positive impacts on vaccine delivery; examples include AstraZeneca and the Serum Institute of India, and Pfizer-BioNTech and BIOVAC in South Africa. These examples show what is possible when the right partners work together and share technology.</p><p> </p><p>While we must continue to ensure vaccine production needs are met globally, the WHO news release of 7 October made it clear that, “With global vaccine production now at nearly 1.5 billion doses per month, there is sufficient vaccine from a supply perspective to achieve global vaccination targets”. We must therefore also focus on issues of distribution and delivery to successfully vaccinate the globe.</p> more like this

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> more like this

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>

answer text <p>Vaccination against COVID-19 is offered to every adult living in the United Kingdom free of charge, regardless of immigration status. This includes those who arrived as refugees and migrants, providing they are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination. Entitlement to free National Health Service treatment is generally based on ordinary residence in the UK. A person who can show they have taken up ordinary residence in the UK can access all NHS services immediately, including COVID-19 vaccinations, based on clinical need. No immigration checks are needed to receive these services and the NHS is not required to report undocumented migrants to the Home Office.</p> more like this
