PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(17 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress his Department has made on providing a new gonorrhoea vaccine through the NHS.

Asked by:
Mr Richard Holden (Conservative)

Answer

On 10 November 2023, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) issued advice on standing up a targeted, routine vaccination programme for the prevention of gonorrhoea.

Officials across the Department, the UK Health Security Agency, and NHS England are developing policy options based on the JCVI’s advice, taking into account a number of factors, including programme deliverability, interrelationship with other immunisation programmes, and National Health Service delivery options. A decision on the vaccination programme is expected shortly after the outcome of this process.
