Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help people who have participated in the NOVAX covid-19 trial to receive international recognition of their vaccination status.

The Government continues to make the case internationally, through groups such as the G7, G20, the European Commission and the World Health Organization, that COVID-19 vaccine trial participants should be treated the same in terms of certification as someone who has received a deployed vaccine. Ultimately it is for Governments to set their inbound travel policy, including for clinical trial participants on Novavax and other trials.
