Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to encourage Ukrainian refugees under the Homes for Ukraine scheme to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.

Ukrainian beneficiaries will have full and unrestricted access to healthcare and other support on the same footing as UK nationals. Councils should provide advice and referrals to specialist public health services as appropriate. I refer the Noble Lord to the guidance for local authorities which contains further details and has been published at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/homes-for-ukraine-guidance-for-councils. The Welcome Guide for Ukrainian guests informs Ukrainians how to get vaccinated if they are not already: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/welcome-a-guide-for-ukrainians-arriving-in-the-uk.
