Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans the Government has to ensure the rapid distribution of a covid-19 vaccine.

An enormous amount of work has taken place to ensure we have the logistical expertise, transport and workforce to roll out a vaccine according to clinical priority, at the speed at which it can be manufactured. Over 6.5 million people across the UK have now received their first dose of a COVID vaccine and nearly half a million have received their second dose. There are now over 2700 sites across the UK already offering vaccines to those at risk by age and clinical priority.

The UK Vaccine delivery plan was published on 11 January 2021 and can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/951928/uk-covid-19-vaccines-delivery-plan-final.pdf
