Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what measures are in place to ensure immunocompromised people’s covid-19 vaccine records are amended where third doses have been incorrectly recorded as boosters.

For those who are severely immunosuppressed, the third primary COVID-19 vaccine dose is recorded as a booster vaccinations. A subsequent booster or fourth dose for eligible severely immunosuppressed patients after a further three months will be recorded as a second booster. Existing data systems support the recording of multiple boosters. All doses administered appear in an individual’s vaccination history and are recorded in the National Immunisation Management System and general practitioner record. An assessment determined that retrospectively updating or amending patient records in the immediate term could risk creating a data quality issue.
