PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Coronavirus: Vaccination (15 December 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to increase transparency and accountability on covid-19 vaccine rollout targets.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

Answer

To increase transparency and accountability on vaccine targets, comprehensive data is published daily and weekly to track progress with the vaccination roll out. This data is available at the following link:

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-vaccinations/

On 20 February we set new targets for the acceleration of the vaccination programme to offer all adults over 50 years old a first dose by mid-April, covering priority cohorts one to nine and the rest of the adult population by the end of July. We are on track to meet those targets.

There is no specific daily United Kingdom wide daily target for the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. The UK COVID 19 Delivery Plan includes an estimate of the population numbers who need to be vaccinated by mid-April and the end of July and is available at the following link:
