To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many vaccinators have been recruited for the covid-19 vaccination rollout to date; and how many of those vaccinators are currently distributing vaccines.

The National Health Service has so far recruited over 13,000 newly trained vaccinators from NHS Professionals who are either starting their local on-boarding or will shortly be invited to do so and over 19,516 volunteer vaccinators from St John Ambulance. These are in addition to the 71,400 full-time equivalent existing NHS staff supporting the COVID-19 vaccination programme. The number of newly recruited vaccinators increases on a weekly basis.
