Request
Covid-19 Vaccination Statistics.
When being vaccinated at Fort Regent I noticed that on the form there was a field for "Refused Vaccine". When I asked whether anyone turned up for an appointment and then refused the vaccination I was told " two or three a day".
I would be interested to know how many people have done that in total so far (ie refused the vaccine after keeping an appointment to have the jab).
Response
People may decline vaccinations after the appointment has been booked for a range of reasons, including having discussed their medical history and so on. Our data shows that to date within our records we have:
COVID19 Vaccinations Contraindicated 263
COVID19 Vaccinations Declines 141
COVID19 Not available or done 13
