One Councillor has questioned whether any public health messaging will reach these people, and if continued campaigns were a waste of money.
Members heard that there was a huge disparity in vaccine take up in different parts of the District.
He suggested now may be a time when Covid is treated in a similar way to flu – people can get annual vaccinations to reduce the danger of the disease, but it is no longer treated as a major public health priority.He said: “Even if public health still see Covid as a major priority, most people don’t. As a disease it will likely rumble on forever, just like flu.He told the meeting he had had four doses of the vaccine, adding: “There was a time where vaccines were accepted as a general good.
Caroline Tomes, Consultant in Public Health, said: “I would still say it is very important to encourage people to get the vaccine. It is one of the best forms of protection – we have seen that across the years.“We have the advantage of living in a country that has such a good history of vaccinations, and we don’t always remember the real risks diseases pose if people are not vaccinated against them.
