Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the planned timescale is for the first rollout of a covid-19 vaccination; and if he will make a statement.
The United Kingdom has a very successful record delivering vaccination programmes, but this is the biggest vaccination programme in National Health Service history. We have an ambitious timetable. By 15 February we aim to have offered a first vaccine dose to everyone in the top four priority groups identified by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
