Hampshire and Isle of Wight Teams Lead Way In 12–15-Year-Old Vaccinations

Hampshire and Isle of Wight teams have recently topped the national vaccination records for successfully delivering more than 51,500 first dose Covid-19 vaccinations to the 12–15-year-old age group.

Teams visited 160 education settings over seven weeks since the programme began at the end of September.

The partnership working between the Trusts ensured all children who were eligible for vaccination were able to access one either at school or by visiting a mass vaccination centre, without disruption to their education.

The teams also vaccinated children who were inpatients, while supporting those who are home educated to ensure they had access to Mass Vaccination Centres or venues local to where they live so all children were treated equally when being offered the vaccine.

These will include any young people who may have missed the 1st dose or have since turned 12, this will also include freeing up additional spaces at Vaccination Centres which can be booked via the national booking system.

Each education setting will be in contact with parents and carers soon and will be able to advise you of when the dates will be.
