The government response merely repeats the committee's introductory statement about the report's origins and scope, without providing any substantive comment or action.

The government disagreed with the committee's recommendation to reduce the overall number of unvaccinated adults to 2.5 million and achieve an 80% uptake for first boosters among adults within four months. They stated they continue to focus on reaching out to the unvaccinated and not fully vaccinated and are using walk-in and mobile vaccination clinics to enable easy access.

The government agrees with the Committee’s recommendation that NHS England and UKHSA should urgently evaluate which approaches are most effective for increasing vaccine uptake, communicate again with local areas about what works, and provide support to them to deploy the most effective approaches, but focuses its response on the recommendation regarding vulnerable groups generally and does not address Mencap's specific concerns about those with severe and profound learning disabilities.
