General Practice (GP) Vaccination Hubs are providing assistance to vulnerable individuals to get easier access to Covid-19 Vaccinations in their local areas.
These Hubs have a goal to expand accessibility to COVID-19 vaccines throughout the SEMPHN region, particularly for vulnerable groups who may encounter challenges in reaching vaccination sites. The GP Vaccination Hubs undertake a range of activities to improve access which can include:
- Pop-up clinics
- Promotion and Education sessions to local groups
- Accepting referrals from partner organisations for people who may require additional support to receive a COVID vaccine
- Emphasis on after-hours and weekend vaccination sessions
- Low Sensory Vaccination Clinics and spaces to support people with sensory processing issues.
Do you know someone who requires additional support receiving their COVID vaccine? Connect with the GP Vaccination hub in your area.
