All adult social care workers who are in direct contact with patients and service users should
get the vaccine, including:
• those working in a registered residential care or nursing home and who are directly
involved in the care of patients or service users
• those working for a registered domiciliary care provider and who are directly
involved in the care of patients or service users
• those employed through personal budgets and or personal health budgets, such as
personal assistants
Employers are responsible for ensuring that SCWs receive a flu vaccination. They may do
this by arranging for you SCWs be vaccinated at their place of work or by arranging for them
to be vaccinated off-site.
