Dear Peter Alexander
Your Request for Information: FOI-0678-20
Thank you for your request for information which has been processed under the Freedom of
Information (FOI) Act 2000.
Your request and the response are below:
Your request
Please could you provide the numbers, and proportion by percentage, of front line staff who have
been vaccinated against covid 19 in the first roll out of the vaccine [until 21/12/20]
Our response
At the time of your request, 21 December 2020, the Trust had not received any vaccines so had not
vaccinated any staff. The Trust was not part of the initial 50 hospital hubs to receive the vaccine.
However, earlier in the week [ending 20/12/2020] we were offered a small number of vaccines by a
neighbouring first-wave hospital hub, Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS
Trust (BHRUT). Following national guidelines, 96 Barts Health staff who were both over 70 and
clinically extremely vulnerable were contacted by HR to receive the vaccine at BHRUT.
You may wish to repeat you request at a later time.
The information we have provided is the copyright of Barts Health NHS Trust (unless stated
otherwise). You may re-use the information in accordance with the Open Government Licence:

contact the named party directly.

your concerns can be addressed informally.
