About this action

Vaccination inequalities mirror wider health inequalities, with Focus Patient groups often having lower uptake due to access barriers, mistrust, or competing priorities. Approaches to implementation: - Run searches to identify where Focus Patients, including children, are missing vaccinations - Contact patients through their preferred communication method, not just standard letters - Offer flexible vaccination clinics at accessible times and locations - Work with trusted communities groups and venues - Address specific concerns or myths prevalent in your Focus Patient communities Key benefits: Protects the most vulnerable from preventable diseases, reduces community transmission in areas of high deprivation, and builds confidence in healthcare through responsive, culturally appropriate approaches.
