A VACCINE tracing service is being trialled in York to reach residents who have not yet made an appointment for their jab.
Public health leaders say take up of the vaccine has been good in the city and that the programme has helped bring Covid-19 rates down dramatically.
But concerns had been raised about vaccination rates in some communities, particularly in more deprived areas of the city or people unable to travel to the vaccine site at Askham Bar.
Peter Roderick from York’s public health team said: “We're working very closely with the GP practices in York on a project we're calling vaccine tracing, where actually we are actively phoning up those who haven't attended and have probably had quite a long time to do so.”
