For public health protection, it is very important people are not deterred from seeking treatment for COVID-19. The Department for Health and Social Care took early steps to ensure diagnosis and treatment for COVID-19 is free for all, including anyone living in the UK without permission. As such, progress on administering the COVID-19 vaccine to illegal immigrants is not a matter for the Home Office
