To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he first received information on the study by Public Health England that found that AstraZenica and Pfizer covid-19 vaccines are more effective in preventing hospitalisation from the delta variant than from other covid-19 variants; and what steps he took prior to that information being published on 14 June 2021.

We received Public Health England’s full report on 12 June. The report was shared with all with all relevant Government departments and discussed with senior advisors.
Further work is underway to establish the level of protection COVID-19 vaccines provide against mortality from the Delta variant.
