Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many flu vaccinations his Department has procured for the 2023-24 children's flu vaccination programme; and whether the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation has recommended a target figure for the (a) number and (b) proportion of children aged two to 17 receiving the vaccine.

We are unable to provide the quantity of flu vaccinations as this is commercially sensitive.

The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) secures sufficient volume of flu vaccines used in the children’s flu programme to ensure that eligible children aged less than 18 years old who present for vaccination can be offered an appropriate vaccine.
