We want to provide as much support as possible. I am really glad that the vaccine roll-out is going well in Wealden and thank everybody who is playing their part in that.
Mr Ben Bradshaw (Exeter) (Lab) [V]
Why does it not make sense for teachers and other essential frontline workers to be vaccinated before perfectly fit and healthy people—like us, Madam Deputy Speaker—in their 60s?
Matt Hancock
Because people in their 60s are more likely to die from covid than people who are younger.
