Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Damien Moore and Maggie Throup

Tuesday 18th January 2022 Commons Chamber

[Damien Moore (Southport) (Con)]

T9. Can my right hon. Friend tell the House how he is making it easier for transport workers, who are disproportionately under-vaccinated, to get their jabs and get this country moving?

[Maggie Throup]

We are intent on making vaccines as accessible as possible, so there are now more vaccination sites than at any point in the programme. They operate 12 hours a day, seven days a week where possible, including at hundreds of walk-in and pop-up sites. In every community, there should be slots available at least 16 hours a day; in some places, that is extended to 24 hours a day to support workers such as those in the transport sector, who often work unsociable hours.
