As the Bailiwick Vaccination Programme ramps up a gear to deliver booster vaccinations to as many residents aged 18 or over as possible before the end of January 2022, the process for inviting individuals to attend the Community Vaccination Centre (CVC) is changing.
The acceleration of the programme is in line with the recent advice from the JCVI and the UK Government drive to provide maximum COVID-19 protection by the end of January.
Anyone who meets the criteria to receive a booster vaccination is being offered an appointment slot at a specified date and time. As such, employers are asked to support the booster programme as much as they can to enable their staff to attend for their appointments as required. We appreciate that in some work settings this is not going to be possible but ask, where it is, you do everything you can to support this vaccine booster push across the Island communities. Ensuring as many members of your staff are vaccinated as possible will not only have a positive impact on the community but also on your workplace over the winter months.
On arrival at the CVC an individual should be registered, vaccinated, complete the necessary post vaccination observations and be able to leave the CVC in no more than 45 minutes.
If employees are not allowed to make their allocated appointment time, they should email vcc@gov.gg or call 01481 220006 to make an alternative arrangement.
