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 follow the recommendation of the British Society of Immunology on the need to provide strong and clear messaging to the public to convey that highest level of covid-19 protection was only gained through receiving two doses of the covid-19 vaccine.

The Government’s public information campaigns include reminders that people should return for their second dose when they are contacted. In addition, those receiving their first dose are given a record card, a note of when they received their vaccine. The card includes a statement highlighting the importance of receiving a second dose to provide the best protection.
