Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many people resident in the British Overseas Territories have received a covid-19 vaccine to date.

The UK Government has been supporting the Overseas Territories throughout the pandemic and began deliveries of COVID-19 vaccines to the Overseas Territories on 5 January. Deliveries so far have included Gibraltar, St Helena and some of the Caribbean Territories who are the first to start vaccinating priority groups. The operation to deliver vaccines is led by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office with support from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Vaccines Taskforce. This is a complex operation, which will take some weeks to complete, but will ensure that vulnerable people in the Overseas Territories will be protected.
