Vaccinations and capacity tracker

Please note that it is a requirement for all care home staff to have received their first vaccination by 16 September 2021. For staff that are yet to be vaccinated they can access their jab via www.grabajab.net which has a list of walk in clinics staff can access.

This message is also a reminder that you need to regularly update all areas of the National Capacity Tracker – at a minimum this should be every 48 hours.

Central Government continues to use this data on a daily basis to identify issues or raise concerns with Local Authorities to investigate further. Therefore, it is really important that the system is kept up to date, particularly vaccination uptake for staff, and residents where you are a care home provider.

The tracker is also a Government requirement and its regular use forms the basis for distributing additional funding support to providers, eg Infection Control Fund.

We appreciate that at times the system experiences data errors so if you notice this then please continue to raise your queries directly with the Capacity Tracker Support Team (tel: 0191 691 3729, email: necsu.capacitytracker@nhs.net and insert ‘Capacity Tracker’ into the subject line.
