Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am formally requesting full and unredacted disclosure of all information held by the NHS regarding the selection process of COVID-19 vaccine doses and batches administered to patients. Specifically, I require:

Clarification on whether patients were pre-selected prior to their vaccination day to receive a specific dose, batch, or type of COVID-19 vaccine.

Details of any criteria, protocols, or algorithms used to assign specific vaccine doses or batches to individuals.

Copies of any internal correspondence, guidance, emails, meeting notes, or policies that relate to the allocation and pre-selection of vaccine doses for individuals, including but not limited to batch assignments.

Any documentation regarding whether certain individuals were assigned particular vaccine batches for reasons beyond general supply and distribution logistics.

Full disclosure of any exemptions, special considerations, or internal NHS policies relating to batch selection and pre-determined vaccine administration.

I expect this information to be provided in full, without redaction or omission
