Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to optimise vaccination protocols for older adults.

The Government’s ‘Coronavirus: action plan: A guide to what you can expect across the UK’ has stated that everyone should ensure themselves and their families vaccinations are up to date, as this will help to reduce any pressure on the National Health Service from vaccine preventable diseases.

In the interest of optimising vaccination protocols, Public Health England recently worked with NHS England and NHS Improvement to generate national news coverage to inform people that the NHS immunisations are still available. Resources such as posters have been circulated across the health system to help disseminate this message.
