Vaccination: Drugs
John Hemming: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what restrictions there are on the provision of the drugs (a) Pedaciel, (b) Repevax, (c) Infanrix-IPV and (d) Menitorix to GP surgeries; whether any vaccination clinics have not taken place as a result of restrictions in supply; whether any alternative arrangements have been made for vaccination; and if he will make a statement. [216829]
Dawn Primarolo: Pedaciel, Repevax, Infanrix-IPV and Menitorix have been put on an allocation system. The allocation system aims to ensure general practitioner contractors receive doses based on their historic vaccine requirements so every child should be immunised with no need to delay immunisations. Where surgeries are concerned that they may not have sufficient stocks for a clinic they have contacted the Department's vaccine supply team who are working to ensure additional doses have been made available.
