Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to introduce Shingrix into the National Immunisation Programme, in line with JCVI recommendations.
Shingrix has been offered to individuals with reduced immune response since September 2021, in line with recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. The Department is currently working with the UK Health Security Agency and the National Health Service to develop implementation plans to support the deployment of Shingrix in the shingles programme.
