UK Govt Launches Covid and Flu Vax ‘Marketing Campaign’ Aimed at Pregnant Women, MinoritiesJack Montgomery 23 Oct 2022
The British government has launched a Covid booster and flu jab drive, with pregnant women, ethnic minorities, and “individuals with long term health conditions” targeted in particular.
The vaccine drive, described as a “marketing campaign” in an official press release on the government’s website, urges “millions to boost their immunity this winter” against coronavirus and influenza.
“Adverts will air across television, radio, social and digital media, stressing the importance of people getting both vaccines to increase their protection this winter,” the government stated, noting that “almost 10 million people in England have already received their boosters.”
People “with long term health conditions, pregnant women and ethnic minority communities” will receive “targeted communications”, with “a particular focus on those with low vaccine confidence” — with the likes of London mayor Sadiq Khan having previously noted that minorities, in particular, are less likely to be vaccinated, and even suggesting they should be given preferential treatment to boost uptake.
Indeed, the government complained in its release that “[v]accination for flu is currently behind last season for pre-schoolers (12.1% in all 2 year olds and 12.8% in all 3 year olds), pregnant women (12.4%) and under 65s in a clinical risk group (18.2%).”
