Access to Covid vaccine as a School Nurse

The request was successful.

Dear The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation,
I am trying to find where and how I can access the Covid vaccine as a school Nurse not working within the NHS but still considered a Front line worker carrying out lateral flow tests. No advice from GP other than contact LA in the area where my school is.

Yours faithfully,
Amy Curtis
The American School in London

Dear Amy,

 

Thank you for your email of 18 January to Public Health England (PHE)
regarding COVID-19 vaccine.

 

COVID-19 vaccination is being delivered by the NHS. Please see the letter

more information about vaccination of health and social care frontline and
support staff. 

 

Additionally, the advice below may be helpful.   

 

·       If you are seeking help about how to get a vaccination
appointment, please get in touch with your employer in the first
instance.  Employers are responsible for facilitating and actively
supporting access to vaccination. These may be as part of block booking
arrangements they have made for their staff or by giving you information
about how you make your own appointment. 

·       If you are an agency worker the agency is your employer. 

·       If you are a self-employed social care worker you should contact
the Adult Social Care lead for your Local Authority 

·       If you are a self-employed healthcare worker your representative
body may be able to help you understand which part of the local NHS you
should contact.
