Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many of the 7,100 Armed Forces personnel on standby for resilience tasks have received their covid-19 booster jab.

Every member of the Armed Forces has been offered vaccination and boosters when sufficient time has elapsed since their second vaccine dose.

40% of Service personnel have been boosted thus far. Uptake broadly matches the general population.

We continue to encourage all Service personnel to get boosted at the first opportunity.
