Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the total cost was for the covid-19 vaccine roll-out in each year since 2021.

The total cost for the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, each year since 2021, is as follows:

• £2.1 billion in 2020/21;
• £5.6 billion in 2021/22;
• £2.8 billion in 2022/23; and
• the audited accounts for 2023/24 have not yet been published, and so finalised figures will be unavailable until they have been published.

These figures cover the costs incurred by the Department’s group of the procurement of the vaccines and subsequent costs of administration.
