NHS England has Set Out Plans for a Winter Vaccination
If you work in homecare and offer bespoke care packages, then you may be interested to know how the sector of private nursing is going to be approaching winter vaccinations. The vaccines are going to be rolled out to social workers as well as those who work in mental health. They are going to follow the social healthcare’s decision to accept the joint committee and they are also going to take the immunisations advice in regard to how severe COVID could be and whether or not a secondary booster is going to be needed. Eligible people for the programme are going to be contacted and the age cohorts for the vaccinations are going to be aligned to make sure that those who need the most protection are given it. The flu and the COVID vaccination are going to be rolled out and it is also going to follow national guidance. Of course, not everyone is going to be offered this vaccine as the NHS are trying to protect those who need it the most. At the end of the day, this is a very positive step for the NHS as it means that they are trying to combat the virus as well as making sure that more lives are not lost as a result of the pandemic. Of course, the NHS might be struggling a little bit now but a lot of this comes down to there being a shortage of staff. The COVID pandemic had a lot to do with this and it just goes to show how important it is to take steps now. If steps can be taken now then this will make it easier for people to get the support that they need, should they come down with the virus.
