Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of pregnant women who have received a 2020 NHS flu vaccine to date.

Public Health England (PHE) publishes weekly influenza vaccine uptake reports throughout the season for general practitioner (GP) patients, which include data on the percentage of pregnant women, who have received the flu vaccine. This data is based on automated returns from GPs and includes data on women vaccinated in pharmacy and maternity services. The first weekly report will be published on the 8 October on GOV.UK.

PHE also publishes monthly vaccine uptake data on the number of GP patients, including the number of pregnant women, who have received the flu vaccine. This includes data from automated and manual returns. The first monthly report will be published on the 26 November 2020 at the following link:
