Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what provisions his Department has made to pay for covid-19 vaccines for UK citizens who are temporarily abroad and have been offered a vaccination by that country's authorities.

Wherever possible British nationals should aim to be vaccinated in the country where they live. The FCDO does not pay medical costs for British nationals abroad. We are monitoring carefully other countries' plans to roll out the vaccine and providing bespoke information through Travel Advice and 'Living in' guides on gov.uk to inform British nationals of healthcare options available to them. British nationals should keep up to date on the national vaccination roll out plan where they live, including on who is eligible.
