Unpaid carers and COVID-19 vaccination - policy briefing, Carers UK

On 30th December 2020, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) published updated advice which recommends that carers who are in receipt of Carer ' s Allowance or are the main carer of an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer contracted COVID should be included in Priority 6. We have produced a briefing which sets out the position in more detail, and which explores our recommendations for deployment of the vaccine to unpaid carers in more detail.
