Informed consent materials
Ensuring the public can access information on the maternal programme and individual vaccines is also key to ensure trust in all vaccination programme, and to help those who may need more support in accessing vaccination.
PHS has developed resources to support the workforce to:
- be fully informed about the maternal vaccination programme
- support vaccine confidence and equity
- be an aid to conversation about the vaccines
This includes information to support informed consent for the maternal programme, aiming to support confident conversations about the vaccines being offered to those eligible this winter.
Information leaflets are available in English and alternative languages and formats (such as British Sign Language, Audio and Easy Read).
