The delivery of the vaccination programme is designed to be convenient and flexible, including in areas where there are groups with lower uptake. There is already a wide offer of vaccination settings such as religious and community centres. Local and national public health agencies are consulted on how best to utilise this flexibility to maximise uptake in groups with low vaccine uptake.
