There are currently 600 military personnel deployed to assist with the COVID-19 vaccination programme. However, we do not hold data on the different childcare arrangements put in place by our Service families. This information is assessed at a local level on the basis of a community needs analysis, where local solutions can be provided for local areas of need.
