NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group and Wakefield Council have recently prepared a local vaccination engagement and patient experience update for the general public.

This includes commissioning voluntary and community organisations to further engage with communities and making sure messages and vaccinations are accessible to all.

A roving vaccination team has been developed to access local venues such as homeless/asylum seeker accommodation, Gypsy and Traveller sites and mosques to deliver vaccinations, including single gender sessions particularly suitable for Muslims. Outreach work continues, including planned engagement with Eastern European communities.
