Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what tools his Department is using to keep track of those people who have received the covid-19 vaccination; and whether the NHS numbers of those people are being recorded as part of that tracking effort.

To record vaccinations, the National Health Service National Immunisation Management System (NIMS) is being used as the national register for COVID-19 vaccinations. At the point that someone receives their COVID-19 vaccine, the vaccinating team will record this information onto the NIMS system and onto a patient’s general practitioner record, which will include capturing data such as a patient’s NHS number.
