COVID-19 vaccination engagement
In 2020, NHS Somerset ran a survey to understand our population's experience of getting vaccinated.
On 2 December 2020, the highly anticipated Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was approved for use to protect against COVID-19. Since then, Somerset NHS have been working in partnership with our health and care providers to make the vaccine available to all our residents.
