Issue - meetings

The Board received and noted the report of the Interim Director of Public Health detailing the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Covid-19 Vaccination Programme.

Jenny Erwin, COVID19 Deputy Incident Commander, NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight was in attendance and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting.

It was noted that there were six sites across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight rolling out the vaccine programme together with GP surgeries, hospital hubs and pharmacies.  The vaccination programme was on track to deliver the target of 15^th February to those identified in phase 1 of the roll out.  Phase 2 would then commence on the next identified cohort.  It was noted that there was clear rationale for the cohort approach, National take-up was at 75% with Hampshire and Isle of Wight at 85%.  Significant engagement work had taken place and it was important that no cohort was missed.
