Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the covid-19 vaccine app will be changed to enable people of 17 years and 9 months to book a vaccine appointment.

A COVID-19 vaccine app which allows vaccine appointments to be booked in the United Kingdom does not exist. COVID-19 vaccinations can be booked via the National Booking System which can be accessed online or by calling 119, or alternatively, by booking through an individual’s General Practice. On 12 August 2021, SMS messages were sent to all individuals aged over 17 years and 9 months inviting them to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment.
