Healthwatch Cheshire Citizens Focus Panel share their views on COVID-19 vaccinations
Healthwatch Cheshire has published a report based on the experiences and views of our Citizens Focus Panel members on COVID-19 vaccinations.The vaccination programme against Coronavirus (COVID-19) began in late December and early January, with many people across the country now having received their vaccine or know someone who has. There is still a large number of people that need to receive their first or second dose of the vaccine, and so the experiences of people so far can be used to help ensure that the vaccine is rolled out smoothly as the programme goes on. Therefore, this month our survey focused on people’s experiences of, and views about, COVID-19 vaccinations.
The survey was shared with all 95 of our members during February, and this report provides a snapshot of the key findings from the 72 responses that we received.
To form discussions and influence decision making, this report will be shared with Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East Councils, NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group, Local NHS Foundation Trusts, voluntary and community organisations, the Care Quality Commission, and our colleagues at Healthwatch England.
