Winter Vaccination Awareness 2024

In October 2024, the London Inspire Programme joined the UK Black Business Show at ExCel London to promote winter vaccinations within the Black community, focusing on flu and COVID-19 booster shots. This campaign supported by NHS England aims to provide clear information, dispel common myths, and build trust in healthcare services to help protect community health during winter.

Event Highlights:

– Location: ExCel London, Royal Victoria Dock
– Date: October 19, 2024
– Activities: One-to-one conversations, informative resources, testimonial videos, and social media engagement.
– Outreach: Over 160 new connections made with attendees, including healthcare professionals and community members interested in vaccinations and public health.

Objectives:

Raise Awareness: Educate on the importance and benefits of winter vaccinations.
Build Trust: Address concerns within the Black community and foster a positive relationship with healthcare providers.
Community Engagement: Encourage personal conversations and connections for increased confidence in public health messaging.

The successful event underscored the value of engaging directly with the community, setting the stage for future events with added features like health screenings.
