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.
– Location: ExCel London, Royal Victoria Dock
– Date: October 19, 2024
– Activities: One-to-one conversations, informative resources, testimonial videos, and social media engagement.
