Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to ensure that vaccination data is accurate for people who have had covid-19 vaccines at different sites.

To ensure that vaccination data is accurate for people who have received vaccines at different sites, patient details are checked against National Health Service records. Any doses recorded at different sites or the same site on previous days are considered and sequencing checks are undertaken. This ensures that a first dose is given before a second dose, which precedes a third primary or booster dose. NHS Digital processes data collected at vaccination sites and identifies any discrepancies. Should data issues arise, patients are advised to contact the Vaccine Data Resolution Service via 119, which ensures accurate recording for clinical records.
