Get a Jab, Give a Jab, Save Lives – Don't let COVID-19 or flu ruin your festive period
Flu is now circulating widely at increased rates, as anticipated, across our community.
Our ‘Get a Jab, Give a Jab, Save Lives’ vaccination campaign continues. This means when you get protected by having your flu jab our Charity will kindly donate to UNICEF on your behalf to help them give lifesaving vaccinations to children in some of the most difficult-to-reach and at-risk communities in the world.
The flu and COVID-19 vaccinations remain available for free to every single member of our Team BWC regardless of your role.
Last year, the total sum we gave to UNICEF helped protect around 59,000 children against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough for life. We'd love to give even more at the end of this winter campaign.

Attending an appointment – what happens?
Please bring your Trust ID. It also helps our vaccinators if you bring your employee number and NHS number with you. You can find your BWC employee number on your pay slip or ESR.
Your NHS number is 10 digits long and can be found on your NHS app or on any letter from the NHS, like a prescription or appointment letter.
If you can't find these, please don't let this put you off coming to get yourself protected. Our team will be able to find your details on our system.
