To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many doses of the Novovax covid-19 vaccine are available in the UK; how many NHS patients have been been given that vaccine; and whether people are able to access that vaccine throughout England as of 9 June 2022.

We continue to be guided by the advice of the independent Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on the vaccines which should be deployed in the United Kingdom’s COVID-19 vaccination programme. In line with the JCVI’s current advice, the Novavax vaccine is not currently being deployed in the UK. We will consider further advice from the JCVI in due course.
