Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had recent discussions with (a) Cabinet colleagues and (b) relevant stakeholders on ensuring that under 16s can demonstrate their vaccination status via the NHS Covid Pass.
While we have had no specific discussions, officials have regular contact with other Government departments and relevant stakeholders. Children in England aged 12 to 15 years old who have received a full course of COVID-19 vaccination are now eligible for a NHS COVID Pass letter for travel. A digital solution via NHS.UK will be available early in 2022.
