Emergency Powers and Planning (Medicines and Vaccines – Covid-19 and Influenza) (Fifth Period) (Jersey) Order 2021.
Minister for Health and Social Services.
This Order provides for the continuation of relaxed controls on medicines to facilitate a plan for vaccination against Covid-19. It is the fifth such Order, the previous Orders being as follows –
- Emergency Powers and Planning (Medicines and Vaccines – Covid-19 and Influenza) (Fourth Period) (Jersey) Order 2021 (in force from 5th September 2021 to end of 4th December 2021);
- Emergency Powers and Planning (Medicines and Vaccines – Covid-19) (Third Period) (Jersey) Order 2021 (in force from 5th June 2021 to end of 4th September 2021);
- Emergency Powers and Planning (Medicines and Vaccines – Covid-19) (Jersey) Order 2021 (in force from 5th March 2021 to end of 4th June 2021);
- Emergency Powers and Planning (Medicines and Vaccines – Covid-19 and Influenza) (Jersey) Order 2020 (in force from 5th December 2020 to end of 4th March 2021).
This Order also continues provision for vaccination against influenza on the basis that the time period overlaps with the annual influenza vaccination period.
The Order expires 3 months after it comes into force (under the Emergency Powers and Planning (Jersey) Law 1990 it cannot remain in force for longer unless renewed). As it comes into force on 5th December 2021 (to follow the expiry of the previous Order) it will therefore expire at the end of 4th March 2022.

The Order also amends the requirement that, in order to be eligible for the allowance for a week, a carer's earnings for that week must not exceed 75% of the lower weekly earnings limit, to instead provide that, to be eligible for the allowance, a carer must not work in excess of 15 hours in the relevant week. The Order comes into force 7 days after it is made.
The Order was made on 2nd December 2021 and came into force on 9th December 2021.
R&O.150/2021.
Regulation of Care (Fees) (Amendment No. 3) (Jersey) Order 2021. Minister for the Environment.
