<p>The National Health Service is working with Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise
partners, inclusion health providers and others to develop an accessible model for
delivery of the vaccine to people from communities such as Gypsy, Roma and Traveller.
Through the Community Champions Scheme councils and voluntary organisations are delivering
a wide range of measures to protect those most at risk - including communicating accurate
health information. Champions have been drawn from these communities themselves to
share accurate health information with their neighbours, networks and wider community.</p><p>Local
vaccination services are playing a vital role in reaching vulnerable groups including
those who are in the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. These services mobilise
general practice, working together in groups of Primary Care Networks plus large and
small community pharmacy sites. These services provide the largest number of locations
and are well placed to support our highest risk individuals, many of whom already
have a trusted relationship with their local health services. They also coordinate
and deliver vaccination to people who are unable to attend a vaccination site.</p>
