COVID-19 vaccination resource

This printable resource is designed to support conversations between healthcare professionals and individuals about the importance of COVID-19 vaccination – with a particular focus on older people. 

It highlights research that shows older adults who have had a recent COVID-19 vaccine have almost half the risk of dying from the acute respiratory infection compared with those who received their last COVID-19 vaccine over a year ago. 

The resource includes a QR code that gives easy access to further information, including frequently asked questions about COVID-19 vaccination, vaccine safety data and patient communication resources.
