Covid 19 Vaccination

It is no longer a legal requirement for all in scope health and care staff in England to be fully vaccinated against Covid 19.

However, we recognise vaccination provides the best defence against Covid 19 for our patients, our staff and their families.

We therefore continue to encourage all prospective employees to engage with the vaccination programme and ensure they have been double vaccinated and received their boosters.

More information on the Covid 19 vaccination can be found at Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination - NHS ().
