Chris Inquires About The Availability Of Vaxrevia

Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the use of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine Vaxrevia ended in the UK; and for what reason that vaccine is no longer available.

Andrew Gwynne The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine was first deployed in England in January 2021. Having reached the end of the supply agreement with the Government, the vaccine has not been used in the United Kingdom’s COVID-19 vaccination programme since 2022. Since September 2021, in line with advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, the vaccines deployed in the national programme have primarily been mRNA vaccines that were considered to provide a strong booster response.
