https://www.nice.org.uk/advice/es28/evidence/evidence-review-pdf-8777674477<\/a><\/p> The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition also published \u2018Rapid review: Vitamin D and acute respiratory tract infections\u2019 which is available at the following link:<\/p> https://app.box.com/s/g0ldpth1upfd7fw763ew3aqa3c0pyvky<\/a><\/p> These rapid evidence reviews, published in June 2020, concluded that there is currently no evidence to support taking vitamin D supplements to reduce the risk and severity of COVID-19. My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care was referring to these publications when he responded to the hon. Member for Ealing Central and Acton (Rupa Huq MP).<\/p> Public Health England will keep this topic under review and will consider updating this assessment if emerging high-quality evidence suggests a change to existing conclusions, and advise the Government accordingly.<\/p>"}
