Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will review the format of the letters of invitation to national vaccination hubs to clarify (a) the location of the proposed vaccination centre and (b) that those patients have the option to wait for an invitation to a local centre, managed by their (i) GP surgery or (ii) local Primary Care Network.

There are currently no plans to review the format of letters of invitation for a COVID-19 vaccination.

The letter informs the recipient that they have a choice in how they get vaccinated. Local vaccination centres including those run by general practitioner surgeries and local Primary Care Networks are available.

Patients booking vaccination appointments can choose a site that meets their accessibility needs and transport requirements and will be informed of the distance of the site from the postcode they have entered.
