Covid-19: Vaccinations

Debate between Jeremy Wright and Nadhim Zahawi

Monday 11th January 2021 Commons Chamber

[Jeremy Wright (Kenilworth and Southam) (Con) [V]]

I congratulate my hon. Friend on the progress made so far, but ask him for some reassurance about those whose appointments have been cancelled due to the vaccine unexpectedly not being available. Will he confirm that they will not be forgotten about, that they will not lose their place in the queue and that they will be reached swiftly?

[Nadhim Zahawi]

My right hon. and learned Friend is absolutely right. I can give him the reassurance that anyone who has had their appointment cancelled will get that appointment reinstated and will get their vaccine. Our absolute commitment is to make sure that those four most vulnerable cohorts have the offer of a vaccine by the middle of February.
