Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish a covid protection strategy for immunocompromised patients.

There are existing interventions for those at higher risk from COVID-19 infection due to their immune system. This includes prioritisation for vaccinations and booster doses and access to therapeutic and antiviral treatments. Guidance has also been issued for this patient cohort, which is available at the following link:
