Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that healthcare providers administering COVID-19 vaccines have access to the full portfolio of vaccines purchased by the Government and available in the UK.

In the United Kingdom, the COVID-19 vaccines currently in use have been authorised by the independent regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority. The majority of people will be offered a vaccine manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna. However, for those clinically intolerant to these MRNA vaccines, the Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Novavax is also available. All vaccination centres order supplies according to anticipated requirements. NHS England has asked regional teams to nominate sites in England to administer the Nuvaxovid vaccine.
