Starting to plan your annual NHS staff vaccination campaign?
It’s that time of year again when you’ll be starting to plan your annual staff vaccination campaign. As we exit the pandemic and face significant staffing pressures in the health service, vaccination is more important than ever to keep your staff and patients safe.
