The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NICE (a) is reviewing and (b) plans to review available vaccines for Urinary Tract Infection for use in the UK.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is not currently reviewing vaccines for urinary tract infections.

Prophylactic vaccinations are considered by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. However, therapeutic vaccinations, for example, for cancer or another condition, are considered by NICE.
