The UK vaccine rollout has seen the fifth most doses administered anywhere in the world; 19 out of 20 people aged 50 and over have already chosen to take up the offer, which remains available. However, uptake is lower among some communities facing access challenges. Such as those experiencing homelessness, ethnically diverse communities, travelling communities and unregistered patients.

The NHS in Essex has teamed up with Ford and local community health leaders to roll out a vital initiative across Mid and South Essex, delivering COVID-19 vaccines to communities who are vulnerable to COVID-19 and those who might face barriers to accessing traditional healthcare services.
Despite the UK’s successful vaccine rollout, COVID-19 vaccine uptake is lower among some communities facing access challenges. Such communities include those experiencing homelessness, ethnically diverse communities, travelling communities and unregistered patients.
To help address this, a specially converted Ford Transit van will begin to travel across Essex from next month, as GP practices work together with local community leaders to safely deliver and administer vaccines in areas of low uptake.
