Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the decision by the Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisations to approve an universal vaccination programme for RSV for infants, when they will provide (1) an agreement for its implementation, and (2) a timescale for its introduction.

Policy options based on the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s (JCVI) advice on a potentially expanded infant RSV vaccination programme are being worked up. This includes the Department working with UKHSA and NHS England on implementation, with NHS England leading on delivery.
