BNSSG Covid-19 booster and Flu Vaccination Film

 

BNSSG Video to Share Across the Care Sector

The BNSSG have developed a communications toolkit and film to encourage staff to have their seasonal flu and Covid-19 vaccinations.

The film features staff members from most organisations within the BNSSG health system, across a wide range of roles. Colleagues have been very generous in sharing their personal reasons for getting vaccinated. Based on evidence of lower vaccination uptake among people from some minority ethnic communities (staff and members of the public) we have placed an emphasis on contributions from black and minority ethnic staff members.

Film:

You can access the film in the following ways:

Usage:

The film can be used across all your internal communications channels, eg, websites, intranet, internal comms platforms. It’s fine if the film is viewed by members of the public. Please share and use as widely as possible.

Materials:

  • Newsletter copy which you can adapt to suit your organisation, below.

  • Information on alternative ways staff can access their flu and Covid vaccinations, below (for use if relevant).

  • Copies of local Q&A addressing concerns about the flu and Covid-19 vaccines in 10 languages. This can be used to support staff who may have concerns about either vaccination.

Alongside this internal version of the film, there is a shorter external edit aimed at members of the public and short clips for social media. These resources will be shared over the coming weeks.

Newsletter content:
