Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the number of young people who have not received their standard vaccinations and provide opportunity for them to receive their vaccines.

The UK Health Security Agency publishes data for all national routine immunisation programmes, which is available at the following link:

The National Health Service is redeploying the workforce to support the adolescent immunisation programmes, with school-based and community clinics offering catch-up vaccinations. Communication campaigns have been launched on the importance and safety of these vaccinations, including targeted MMR and polio campaigns to reach the under-vaccinated. Those who may have missed a routine immunisation or are unsure of their immunisation status are encouraged to consult their general practitioner.
