ENT UK's response on vaccinations for COVID-19

Ignoring the Science (delayed second mRNA vaccine doses) puts frontline workers and all recipients at risk

ENT UK and our related specialty groups have been contacted by a number of members expressing concern about the Government’s decision to delay the administration of a second dose of COVID-19 vaccines, specifically the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna). In light of the latest vaccination roll-out, we have created a joint statement with The Royal College of Anaesthetists.

The full statement affirms that priority needs to be given for immediate vaccination to all front-line workers, particularly those most at risk from close contact with patients and aerosol generating procedures (AGP), in-order for them to minimise sickness. This will enable frontline workers and trainees to continue to do their job by protecting patients and the NHS.

ENT UK thank you for your support in this important matter.
