NHS England has announced that it is bringing forward the rollout of this year’s Autumn/Winter Flu and COVID-19 vaccination delivery programme to begin on 11 September.
Chief Executive of Healthwatch England, said
“With new variants of COVID-19 in circulation, people at higher risk from the virus will be relieved to hear that this year’s vaccine campaign will start sooner.
It is essential that everyone who is more vulnerable to COVID-19 can get the protection they need. We can all also play our part by encouraging people to come forward for their jab, especially amongst communities with lower vaccine uptake.
An effective vaccine campaign, which helps those at risk to make an informed decision to have the vaccine, will reduce the impact on individuals, help limit the spread of COVID-19 and also help to stop additional pressures being put on the NHS this winter“.
