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 counter misinformation about covid-19 vaccines to ensure that all communities have access to accurate information.

The Department is working closely with Public Health England and NHS England and NHS Improvement to provide authoritative information to the public to make an informed choice about getting vaccinated. We are also working with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to help social media platforms identify and take action against incorrect claims about the virus in line with their terms and conditions. This includes anti-vaccination narratives that could endanger people’s health.
