Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 March 2026

Debate

Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

Schedule 17 to the 2012 regulations introduced a category of “occupational health vaccinators” who are permitted to administer Covid-19 and influenza vaccines as part of an NHS or local authority occupational health scheme. This instrument amends the list of professionals who are able to deliver occupational health scheme vaccinations to align with the professionals who are able to supply medicines under a patient group direction, including private providers. It also expands the scope of Schedule 17 to cover any vaccination or immunisation offered as part of an occupational health scheme.
