Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether it is his policy that medical students should be vaccinated against covid-19 as well as all other NHS staff.

All frontline healthcare staff who are eligible for seasonal influenza vaccination should be offered the COVID-19 vaccine. Temporary staff, including those working in the COVID-19 vaccination programme, students, trainees and volunteers who are working with patients are also included.
