Recommendation 2

Accepted
Paragraph: 17
Address practical challenges of time and location preventing vaccination access.
Conclusion
Vaccination is the one of the greatest success stories when it comes to preventing infection. Its impact is transformative. This makes it all the more concerning that England did not reach the 95% target for any routine childhood immunisations in 2021/22. The Government and NHS England should constantly strive to maximise the fantastic asset that vaccination represents and to ensure that nobody is excluded from the benefits that it can bring. It is unacceptable that there are people who are unable to take advantage of the important protection that vaccination offers due to practical challenges of time and location that can and must be addressed.
Government response summary AI-generated
NHS England, in collaboration with partners, is developing and will publish a vaccination and immunisation delivery strategy later in 2023, aimed at improving uptake and coverage, reducing inequalities, and delivering locally tailored services with targeted outreach.
