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 people who will be aged 65 by 31 March 2021 who have received a 2020 NHS flu vaccine to date.

Public Health England (PHE) publishes weekly influenza vaccine uptake reports throughout the flu season for general practitioner (GP) patients, including those aged 65 and over on 31 March 2021. This data is based on automated returns from GP practices. The first weekly report will be published on 8 October on GOV.UK.

PHE also publishes monthly influenza vaccine uptake data on the number of individuals who are aged 65 and over on 31 March 2021 who have been vaccinated with an influenza vaccine. This data will be published on GOV.UK on 26 November 2020.
