COVID-19 VACCINE ADVICE
Progress to date...
Focused efforts to further increase vaccination rates in the city
This week it was announced that Brighton & Hove was the latest area to receive enhanced Government support following rising COVID cases in the city.
 
This support includes additional testing in the city, one at the Peace Statue on Hove seafront and one in Jubilee Square, by Jubilee Library.
 
Clearly a key part of this response is our continued drive to get all adults in the city to have the vaccine and we continue to work hard to reach those who have not yet taken up the offer.
 
We are urging anyone over 18 to have both doses of their vaccine as soon as possible.
 
If you are due your second and it is eight weeks since your first vaccination, please come forward and make sure you have the highest level of protection.
 
We are also encouraging the public to continue to play their part in keeping themselves and others safe, and supporting the NHS this summer.

The key messages we are asking the public are:
-
Continue to behave with caution – COVID has not gone away, do everything you can to keep yourself and your loved ones safe
-
Get your vaccine – anyone over 18 should have both doses of their vaccine as soon as possible.
-
Use NHS services responsibly – all NHS services are extremely busy, make sure you are using the right service at the right time.
-
If you have symptoms, get a test and self-isolate

Half a million vaccinations given by SCFT vaccinators
This week Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust reached a significant milestone in Sussex's vaccination efforts, as the 500,000th jab was given at SCFT's vaccination centres.
 
Since opening their first centre at the Brighton Centre on 25 January, closely followed by sites in Chichester, Eastbourne and Crawley, their teams have seen people from all different roles from across the organisation come together to support the vaccination programme in Sussex.
 
Since they opened:
* They have been open for 5,531 hours
* More than 2,000 staff have worked 282,315 hours (so far!)
* 40% of our vaccination centre staff previously worked in the travel industry
* 1.5 vaccinations are given every minute across our centres, or 88 per hour
* 823 volunteers have supported our vaccination centres, with amazing support from external organisations, including the Royal Voluntary Service
* Volunteers have given more than 84,344 hours of their time so far
To mark this amazing milestone, Mike Jennings, Deputy Chief Executive and Senior Responsible Officer for vaccination centres, has sent this special message to every single member of staff and volunteer who has made this possible:
