Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)
Answer
All frontline health and social care workers are eligible for the autumn COVID-19 booster vaccination and flu vaccine. Social care workers are encouraged to take up the offer of the vaccines as soon as possible to help protect themselves and those they care for. The Department wrote to adult social care providers prior to the launch of the autumn booster campaign on the importance of vaccination and supporting staff to receive a vaccination. The UK Health Security Agency also provides further promotional material online. Further targeted communications will be issued to the sector during the campaign.
