<p>The National Health Service is preparing to recruit people to be trained as COVID-19
vaccinators in support of the national effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. We are
working with experienced NHS partners to prepare for when a vaccine becomes available
to enable the NHS to vaccinate as many people as possible.</p><p>Secondary legislation
enabling more healthcare workers to administer flu and potential COVID-19 vaccines
has been introduced. This means that the NHS can expand the vaccination workforce
by recruiting to clinical roles needed to support mass vaccinations in a safe way.
Recruitment is focused on those who already have experience in handling vaccinations
but may currently work outside of NHS settings, for example, independent nurses or
allied health care professionals. We will also use existing schemes such as NHS Bring
Back scheme to fill roles. Robust training and supervision will be provided for all
those who will be part of the vaccination effort.</p>
