Today I secured an Urgent Question in the House of Commons to ask the Vaccines Minister for an update on the Government's vaccination strategy. Now that Omicron has become the dominant variant, emerging evidence suggests that vaccination no longer provide effective or long-term protection against transmission or infection (though they still provide excellent protection against severe illness). Given that the facts have changed, I am calling on the Government to reassess the benefits and risks of vaccinating healthy children and to re-evaluate the decision to legislate for mandatory vaccination for NHS staff.
