Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the covid-19 vaccination process is accessible to people with sight loss.

Public Health England (PHE) has published braille and large print versions of the vaccination information leaflet, which is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-what-to-expect-after-vaccination

The national booking letters are sent in size 16 font as standard as defined by RNIB as large print and also provide 119 as an option. All vaccination venues are accessible and will meet the needs of people with disabilities. Individuals and families are being encouraged to raise any need for a reasonable adjustment required ahead of vaccination appointments.
