The Almshouse Association has written to all the Directors of Public Health regarding access to the Coronavirus vaccine for almshouse staff and residents.
We have so far received a number of positive responses from Directors around the country. In the file attached, members can see the status of response from their local authority in case action is required.
The Almshouse Association would urge our members to personally reach out to the local Director of Public Health or Director of Adult Social Services to flag your services directly. This is the most effective way of ensuring that your local council help your staff to access the vaccination.
There are also some local authorities who have advised that members should fill in a form which must be completed and returned to the local authority. Links to the forms have been included in the attached file.
