Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what immediate plans he has to monitor the effectiveness of different covid-19 vaccines in different age groups.

Public Health England have undertaken their first analysis of the early effects of COVID-19 vaccination on older adults using routine testing and vaccination data across England. This data, published in a preprint on 1 March 2021, provides early evidence that both the Pfizer and Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines are having a significant effect on the reduction of COVID-19 infection, hospitalisations and deaths in those over 70 years old across England.
