In collaboration with NHS England, Healthwatch Wakefield spoke to twelve individuals who identified as being members of the Pakistani community. They explored their experiences of the COVID-19 and Flu vaccination services, including the current booster programme.
Seven participants would prefer to have the Flu vaccine on a separate day to the Covid-19 vaccine. Five would prefer to have them on the same day. All twelve participants mentioned at least one platform of social media as a primary source of their health information, the most common was twitter, which was specifically mentioned by eight participants.
Nine participants, had heard information about Covid-19 ‘recently’, and four had heard information about the Flu. All twelve participants thought the current Covid-19 booster reminder letter was simple and easy to understand, although recommendations for improvements were made.
