The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) would like to highlight to BVRLA members the communications resources available for businesses to support the vaccine uptake.
With an aim to make sure that all over 18s get their booster vaccine (or first and second vaccines) as soon as possible, communications resources are available on the Public Health England website - this includes an employer toolkit.
Businesses can help in the following ways:
-
Encouraging employees to get a booster (or first and second jab) and supporting them to do it in the best possible way – this might include giving them time off to get the jab.
-
Promoting the booster campaign to their customers/clients. For example, using their websites to promote the booster campaign and using their shop fronts to put up communications materials etc.
-
If operationally feasible, releasing staff to help with the volunteer effort, either as healthcare professionals or as general volunteers.
