The Minister, Maggie Throup, thanked MP Beresford for his kind words and detailed speech. She highlighted the UK’s successful covid vaccination programme, noting that nine in ten people aged 12 and over have received at least one dose. The Minister emphasised the roll-out of booster jabs to protect against severe illness during winter months, with more than 500 additional vaccination sites now operational compared to April this year. She also mentioned working closely with local authorities, faith leaders, and ethnic minority communities to combat misinformation, providing translated materials in over 13 languages. Throup committed to continuing efforts to improve vaccine uptake among all age groups, including a focus on hard-to-reach populations such as those experiencing homelessness. The Minister assured the House that new measures would be introduced to make vaccination records easily accessible digitally and reiterated the Government’s commitment to combating misinformation through cross-Whitehall counter-disinformation units and social media companies' commitments.
