Staff Vaccinations - Well above the average for Dudley!!
So far 83% of our workforce are vaccinated or are booked in to be vaccinated.
Below is a comment from Public Health/Health Protection Team on our last figures:
"83% is a great achievement and above the average for Dudley, which is currently at 62% for homecare and 58% for care homes – so why we are so keen to get it increased and closer to the Government target of 90%."
