Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to allow the private sector to provide COVID-19 vaccinations.

Vaccines that have been licensed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency for use in the United Kingdom can be prescribed by a physician, either in the National Health Service or privately.

As is the case for other private healthcare, the emergence of a private market for COVID-19 vaccines in the UK is a matter for manufacturers and private healthcare providers to decide and agree on.
