Coronavirus: Vaccination

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to make Nuvaxovid available (1) on the NHS, and (2) privately, before the arrival of a new SARS-Cov-2 variant.

Answer

The procurement of COVID-19 vaccinations is based on the policy decisions made by my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. These are informed by scientific advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. The Department cannot advise which brand of vaccine will form part of any future COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

The availability and purchasing of vaccines provided through the private market is a matter for suppliers and those offering private vaccination services directly. The Department is unable to advise which vaccine suppliers will be in stock with private vaccination services.
