Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when NHS and care staff will receive the BioNTech/Pfizer covid-19 vaccine.

The National Health Service (NHS) began vaccinating patients and NHS workers against COVID-19 at hospital hubs on 8 December 2020, in the biggest immunisation programme in the UK’s history. The majority of the vaccines so far have been administered to over 80 year olds, care home workers and NHS staff, through more than 730 vaccination sites across the UK; hundreds more are opening this week to take the running total to over 1,000.. Vaccination sites are also working with care home providers to book their staff in to vaccination clinics.
