100% of Devon’s care homes have had their Covid-19 vaccination visits, so we are passing on big thank you from the NHS Vaccination Team, as well as reminding you to record those vaccinations on the Capacity Tracker.
We do our best to keep the content and structure of our PEN website up-to-date in these fast-changing times and your suggestions on how to improve the website are always welcome.
Great Vaccination progress in Devon Care Homes, please update Capacity Tracker accordingly
As of 21 May the Devon Vaccination teams have completed their first vaccination visits with 100% of Care Homes in Devon, they are now undertaking and arranging follow up visits.
Currently only 49% of all Care Homes have reported their vaccination figures through the Capacity Tracker, so this Devon success is not showing in national reports. Please make sure all Covid-19 vaccination figures are included on your next Care Home Capacity tracker update. Thank you.
If you have any vaccination queries please contact the Devon Vaccination Support Team:
