Meeting: 14/09/2021 - Slough Outbreak Engagement Board (Item 31)

National & Local Key Messages

Minutes:

The national and local key messages were summarised as:

 

·  Continue to encourage vaccination take up for those not yet vaccinated by emphasising that mortality rates were lower for those who had been vaccinated.

·  Most flu jabs were given at GP practices and autumn plans for these were in place.

The Executive Place Managing Director advised that it was not logistically possible to give the booster and the flu vaccine at the same time. The booster vaccine programme would probably rolled out in October/November. It was vital that flu vaccines be taken as soon as possible.

 

Resolved – That the National & Local Key Messages be noted.
