Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will prioritise foster carers for covid-19 vaccination.

Foster carers who are classified as adult carers will be prioritized in priority group six. This includes those who are eligible for a carer’s allowance or those who are the sole or primary carer of an elderly or disabled person who is at increased risk of COVID-19 mortality and therefore clinically vulnerable.
