To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much his Department plans to spend on promoting the uptake of free (a) seasonal flu and (b) covid-19 booster vaccinations to eligible cohorts in winter 2022-23; and how much was spent on promoting those vaccinations in winter 2021-22.

The 2022/23 campaign to promote uptake of seasonal flu and COVID-19 booster vaccinations had a media spend of £3.02 million. This was an integrated winter vaccinations campaign therefore it is not possible to split out the spend by vaccine. The 2021/22 campaign to promote uptake of seasonal flu and COVID-19 booster vaccinations had a media spend of £11.5 million. This was also an integrated winter vaccinations campaign and spend cannot be separated out by vaccine.
