Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether police officers will be prioritised for COVID-19 vaccinations.

For the first phase of the vaccine rollout, the Government is prioritising the elderly and clinically vulnerable, alongside the front-line healthcare workers who are directly treating and caring for them. Those over 50, and all adults in an exposure risk group, will then also be eligible for vaccination in the early phase of the programme. This already includes many police officers and police staff.

The Government recognise the vital work of the police and we continue to reemphasise that in discussions on the next phase of the vaccine prioritisation.
