UK: Covid vaccine: Women-only and quiet sessions to boost uptake

Article here. Excerpt:

'South Worcestershire Healthcare will be running the sessions across Worcestershire over the coming week.

Female-only staff will deliver Covid-19 jabs to women during "women's hour" and "quiet hour" will see lights dimmed and noise minimised to attract people who have sensory disabilities or autism.

The provider said "a lot of people can be put off" by walk-in clinics.

Women's hour "is basically for women who may feel more comfortable in a female-only environment, be that for religious reasons, cultural reasons or just in general", said Finn Nolan, outreach manager for South Worcestershire Healthcare.

He said all male staff would be taken off the floor for one hour a day and the centres would be female-only spaces.'
