With 3687 vaccinations given to date, we’ve officially vaccinated almost 58% of frontline staff. And as the national average is 40% it’s a good time to say we’re doing really well in making sure our colleagues, patients and families are protected from flu this winter.
We're determined to have as many colleagues as possible vaccinated by the end of this year, so early next month we'll also be taking part in a nationwide #jabathon week to share the importance of the vaccination on social media.
