Free flu jabs for staff, students and volunteers
All colleagues are eligible for the free flu vaccination, whether you are clinical or non-clinical, nursing, AHP, scientist, facilities, catering, student or admin and clerical – if you work, learn or volunteer at UHB, you can get strong this winter.
Flu jabs will be readily available wherever you work, learn or volunteer, across the full range of our hospitals and off-site community locations.
You will be able to ask your ward manager, visit a drop-in clinic, or get protected from a roving peer vaccinator easily between the end of September and the end of the year.
Ask a ward manager
Ward managers and senior sisters on all wards are your first port of call and are asked to provide the flu jab to their team and any colleague, including students and volunteers, who ask for it.
Managers are asked that between the end of September and the end of November, all members of staff who usually work on the ward, including all non-nursing colleagues, are offered a flu jab and offered time to complete the national staff survey in privacy – both are vital for the wellbeing of all.
Drop-in clinics
All hospital sites will have drop-in clinics in high-footfall areas such as main entrances. Please check back for information on your nearest drop-in clinic.
Good Hope Hospital
Vaccinators will be roving the hospital during the times below. If a vaccinator has not visited your department, please visit any ward and ask a ward manager or senior sister for a vaccination.
