We do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information at birminghamandsolihullcovidvaccine.nhs.uk where you can also find out more about how to access vaccination.
