This week I welcomed the news that the health secretary has changed the coronavirus vaccine priority list, after I raised this issue with him earlier this year.

Now people at very high risk from coronavirus, who were made to shield, will be given the same priority as the over 70s.

Thank you to my constituents who got in touch to raise this important issue. I will keep holding the government to account over this – to make sure the vaccine is rolled out quickly and fairly.

I have also tabled an early day motion to celebrate and commend the international efforts of thousands of scientists, researchers & clinicians from across the globe in developing treatment, testing and vaccines for Covid-19.
