No specific discussions with clinical commissioning groups have taken place. However, Ministers and officials meet frequently to discuss all aspects of the COVID-19 vaccination programme, including data and reporting.

COVID-19 vaccination data is being shared at both a Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) level and a lower tier local authority level. Additionally, NHS England and NHS Improvement’s weekly publication on COVID-19 can be found on the NHS England website. This publication currently includes data on:

- All National Health Service COVID-19 vaccinations administered in the reporting period;

- Vaccinations by age band, defined as 80 years old and over, 75 to 79, 70 to 74 and under 70 years old;

- Vaccinations by dose;

- Vaccinations by NHS region;

- Vaccinations by integrated care systems and sustainability and transformation partnerships;

- Vaccinations by clinical commissioning groups;

- Vaccinations by ethnicity; and

- Vaccinations of residents and staff in older adult care homes.
