Views on vaccines from South Asian communities

Healthwatch Bradford and District was commissioned by NHS England to engage members of South Asian communities in Bradford district on their current feelings about vaccines offered by the NHS.

Key questions included whether they currently receive or were planning to receive the annual flu vaccine, and whether they would be happy to receive both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same appointment.

Participants in these conversations also discussed their health concerns, their knowledge of COVID-19 and flu, their confidence in the NHS and other public institutions to protect them from the impacts of COVID-19 and whether they trusted the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 and flu vaccines.

We met with Bangladeshi and Pakistani community leaders and discussed how best to hold focus groups and one-to-one conversations in their communities. In total, views were gathered from 28 men and women from both communities.
