Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress his Department has made on ensuring that participants in (a) vaccine trials and (b) the Novavax trial are able to have their vaccination status accurately recorded in the NHS Covid Pass.

All clinical trial participants can now gain access to an NHS COVID Pass for domestic purposes.

As of 21 September, approximately two thirds of Novavax trial participants in England, access their vaccination information through the NHS COVID Pass for travel purposes. Work is ongoing to ensure that all clinical trial participants can access an NHS COVID Pass for travel in the near future.
