Their new advice and the changes to the Covid-19 vaccination programme are consistent with the temporary authorisations granted for these vaccines by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.\r\n\r\nThe JCVI, Chief Medical Officers, MHRA and NHS England are all independent and operationally independent of the UK Government, so we cannot accept petitions calling for actions that these bodies are responsible for.\r\n\r\nYou can read the JCVI's advice on optimising the COVID-19 vaccination programme for maximum short-term impact here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prioritising-the-first-covid-19-vaccine-dose-jcvi-statement/optimising-the-covid-19-vaccination-programme-for-maximum-short-term-impact\r\n\r\nYou can read the statement from the UK Chief Medical Officers on the prioritisation of first doses of COVID-19 vaccines here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/statement-from-the-uk-chief-medical-officers-on-the-prioritisation-of-first-doses-of-covid-19-vaccines\r\n\r\nYou can read the MHRA's conditions of Authorisation for Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-pfizer-biontech-vaccine-for-covid-19/conditions-of-authorisation-for-pfizerbiontech-covid-19-vaccine\r\n\r\nYou can read the MHRA's conditions of Authorisation for COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca/conditions-of-authorisation-for-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
