New COVID-19 vaccination guidance for employers

Public Health England has published a new guide for employers on COVID-19 vaccination. The guide encourages employers to support the government’s COVID-19 vaccination programme and it covers the following subjects:

• why supporting vaccination of employees against COVID-19 is important
• what employers can do to support the vaccination of their workforce
• resources to help employers promote vaccination to their workforce.

In particular, the guide links to the previously published employer toolkit (which has now been updated) on supporting employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The toolkit can be downloaded as a zip folder and comprises an employer briefing sheet, posters, email signatures, a Q&A document, web banners and other resources.
