Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of requiring residents of care homes to be vaccinated against covid-19.
We have no plans to mandate vaccination for care home residents. As of 20 February 2022, 95.4% of all care home residents have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and 88.4% have received a booster dose.
