St John Ambulance Vaccination Volunteers have worked tirelessly in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement in vaccination centres across the country to roll out the COVID-19 vaccine delivery programme since December 2020.
To date, our charity's Vaccination Volunteers have provided more than 800,000 hours of their time for this vital initiative, part of well over a million hours of St John Ambulance volunteers’ support for communities on the frontline of COVID-19 – including work in hospitals and on ambulances – since the pandemic began.
As winter begins and we face the double threat of extreme weather and significant anxiety around the new Omicron variant we are proud to continue to play our role in supporting the NHS to respond.
