To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what health (a) support and (b) guidance is available for clinically vulnerable people who are unable to receive a covid-19 vaccine due to medical reasons.

The guidance for clinically extremely vulnerable people published on 12 July also applies to those who are unable to receive a COVID-19 vaccine due to medical reasons. The guidance is available at the following link:

If any individual is concerned about their physical or mental wellbeing, they should contact their general practitioner practice or specialist who can provide them with support and guidance on any further measures to further reduce their risk of infection.
