Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the forthcoming vaccines strategy will commit to supporting the expansion and evolution of the JCVI to ensure that it is adequately resourced and equipped.
The vaccine strategy has been delayed due to the Department’s ongoing response to the pandemic. The strategy is being kept under review given the continuously evolving understanding of COVID-19, its vaccines and vaccination programmes and the impact of these developments.
